| Application and Expansion Exercise 1: | |
| News, News, News! | |
Look through old magazines (Time, Newsweek, People, and Reader’s Digest might be good ones to use) and find an article on one leader who is historical or will be, in your opinion. Jot down what the article is about and whether you think the person is an effective leader or not. Why do you think this? How are they making/did they make a difference and is the effect positive or negative? |
|
Find
an article on a historical leader or on one destined to become a
historical figure |
You’re a reporter, now! Go to your Reflection Journal, enter the date, and write a news article on the leader you have chosen and how he or she relates to a leadership model that you learned about in this module. Send your article in to your local newspaper, school newspaper, or 4-H newsletter. Don’t forget to tell them about TRY-IT! and what you have learned! |

| Application and Expansion Exercise 2: | |
| Historian for a Day | |
| Imagine you are a famous historian and your community wants to commission you to conduct a study on a local leader. Choose one person in your community’s history and write about him or her. You may want to contact your local historical society or ask an older adult for suggestions on who to write about. You might consider a person who has changed some type of policy or was a leader in creating a park (the park may even be named after the person). Complete a biography on the leader and make a presentation about him or her on poster board or by using a computer presentation program. | |
Choose
your historic community leader and create the biography presentation |
| Give your presentation in front of your class, your 4-H club, or a group of friends. Be sure to tell the group why this person was/is an effective leader and how he or she changed history. |
Present
the biography you developed about a historic
community leader |
| When you return home from your presentation, go to your Reflection Journal, enter the date, and write a brief summary of your presentation. What leadership skills do you think you gained by giving the presentation? Is there any issue in your community that you would like to take a leadership role in addressing? What is it? |

| You’ll Go Down In History! | |
| Now that you know what styles of leadership there are and you have seen biographies on different historical leaders, predict the future – your future! Create a sculpture of yourself as a historical leader using modeling clay. What is the figure in your sculpture wearing? How is it posed? Are there any other objects in the sculpture? | |
Sculpt
yourself as a future leader |
| Once you are finished with your sculpture, go to your Reflection Journal and describe how you evolved from your current leadership style to the one you will have as a historical leader. How did you change the community, the country, or the world? |
