September Week 3 (due Sep 24)

 
Week 3:
CORE:
Do first (by the Thursday before class):
1. Read: Turn the Page Chapter 3. Practice “beginning with a plan” in all of your reading this week.
2. Make a plan: to keep tracking your goal progress and working on your memorization
Do the rest of the study week:
1. Word Study: Choose and read another talk that has to do with your word and write your favorite quote, and the principles you found, in your word study.
2. Listen and Read: What Makes it Great Introduction and to page 25.  Listen to the examples here as you read.
3. Watch: Number 1 on the Constructing the Universe DVD OR read Chapter 1 of Beginner’s Guide OR chapter 1 of God Saw that it was Good
4. Read: This article: Hebrew: The Language of Liberty
5. Watch: This short video about the Hebrew Letter Aleph OR this longer video (super awesome) if you really want to start to get the essence of the letter (watch until it gets to Bet)
6. Make a collage: of the things you learned about the number 1 and the letter Aleph in your nature sketch book
7. Read: Write Well, Change the World Chapter 2
8. Create: Create something to share about something that inspired you this week such as: a poem, paper, drawing, painting, timeline, video, song, blog post, speech, goodreads review, visual presentation, digital piece, letter, or another way to share the truth you learned.  Try a different way to share than what you tried last week. Remember, this can be a rough draft of what you take to Journeyman to refine and it may be the writing you are doing for Master class.

JOURNEYMAN:
1. Read: Aspire – Chapter 2 and write your thoughts in your journal
2. Bring: a project from Core, Journeyman or Master for review and revision
And choose one of the following:
1. Find a quote about the importance of keeping a journal and write about what it means to you and why it is important to you personally.
2. Find a way to personalize your journal and write about the meaning of why you chose to personalize it that way. (embellish, graffiti, stickers, nothing...)
3. Read a little (or a lot) of some of the pioneer journals found here. Or the journal of a relative or someone that inspires you.  Think and write about how and why their journals have inspired you, and what action you will take.

MASTER:
Read: Finish Uncle Tom’s Cabin
Continue: working on your Cultural Literacy Terms
Choose: an internal character trait you are admiring in Tom from your Character T-Chart.  Practice that trait to the best of your ability for 3 days. Write about it in your journal and be ready to share some of what you learned from this in class when we meet. Again, you can write about your thoughts and refine them into a paper or blogpost in Journeyman if you would like.

PRINCIPLES OF FREEDOM:
1. Do the Principles of Liberty Course; Week 3 in your student manual.  Bring your notes, thoughts, and answers to the questions with you to class. 
2. Continue working on what you learned from Chapter 1 in Lead like Jesus

GREAT BOOKS:
1. Read: Pages 29-42 of Volume 8 The Discovery of Radium. Bring your notes and a discussion question.
2. Read: Chapter 1 and Appendix A of Earth: In the Beginning. Do the Study Questions.
