WEEK 2: Geo-Conquest
Look at examples of Stewardship and how living it helps preserve our property in the lives of people in history & around
the world--and then learn from them!
*Each week,
you need to meet with your parents or a mentor and review the material for the
week so you can individually tailor it to your studies: powerful and necessary :).
"Starting Point"
1. Review the scripture and the poem for the month.
2. Read chapter 5 on Leadership" in Be The Change and bring your favorite quotes or ideas to share.
3. This month we are focusing on North America, the land of our personal heritage! Find a story from the time of the Revolutionary War or from your family history where people showed good stewardship or bad and bring it to share.
4. It is important for us to improve our knowledge of geography to increase our understanding of events and cultures we hear about around the world. However, we are all at different levels of understanding of the world around us. For our map study for this month, I want you to take a section or category of North America (you can also include Central America) and make a map of it, labeling 20 places or features that you didn't know before. Here are some ideas!
--draw a picture of the state of Utah and label counties and landmarks you didn't know about before
--get a blank map of Canada and label 20 places on it you didn't know before: provinces, major cities, rivers, etc.
--identify 20 major rivers or mountain ranges of North America that you didn't know their location before on a blank map of North America
--label 20 different places (cities, states or physical features) of Mexico on a blank map
Bring it to class to share!
5. Come prepared to help put on our "Family Heritage Festival," starring your families! Please do both of the following:
-Bring one food item that is a family tradition: main dish, snack, etc.
-Bring an activity or presentation on a personal family tradition you have: games, holiday traditions, etc. Try to make this more of a presentation, rather than a simple retelling if you can. For instance, we celebrate St. Lucia's Day at our house, so one of my kids could come in dressed up as St. Lucia and what she brings, reinacting how we do it as a family with the class, and the distributing the goody that goes with it in the same fashion.
Bunny Trails
We are incorporating the "Bunny Trails" part with the maps, family history story and the Family Heritage Festival, as you seek to find your own needs and interests to satisfy those three requirements...have fun!
Project Time!
Continue your project from last week or take on a new project that applies the principles you are learning about stewardship to your life and your personal areas of property. Remember our discussion last week! Property is not always something you can touch, but can be ideas or relationships. Come prepared to share!
