There’s no better way to grow as a leader than to dive into your exact interests for growth! Challenge all your Leadership students or reserve this as an extra-credit, honors, or Student Council member-only requirement with this no-prep, no-brainer project kit.
The included Dialectic Journal allows students to engage in self-guided learning and teach their classmates through the included review and infographic.
So many ways to use this:
- independent, small group, or whole class
- slow season, end-of-year, or over summer project
- class officer requirement or extra credit opportunity
You simply serve as their consultant as they choose, read, and reflect on a leadership or social skills book. Check their learning with an in-depth dialectic journal, a quick book review slip, and/or infographic. Mix and match according to your student’s needs and situation!
The best part is the infographic and book review slip they create for others!
Included in this complete project kit:
- List of popular and teen-oriented book titles on a variety of topics
- Dialectic Journal step-by-step directions and sample
- Dialectic Journal sheets
- Book Review Slip half-sheet
- Project Overview sheet
- Rubrics
This resource is 12 PDF pages, plus Google files.
What grades is this intended for?
This should work for either middle or high school students. I have used it with 9th through 12th graders, but these activities don’t require any high school-specific skills. Please read the description and examine the preview file closely to determine if it is appropriate for your students.
What supports are included? Can I modify this?
Detailed teacher directions and editable Google file versions of student materials are included so you can modify activities to suit your group’s needs and setting.
