What are some characteristics of being a leader?

# data[].attributes.body
In Day 1 we reviewed what it meant to be a leader in our lives, now we can see how that compares to our actions with others.  It's easy to get lost in the role of a leader and become a boss where we disregard individuals to simply get things "done."
In order to ensure that we are doing our best to be leaders, we need to reflect on what a bully can look like. Review the attached activity plan and have a discussion with your students.
Then review the following post that contains a short quiz and flyers that you can print or project for your students.
When taking the quiz, have students all put their heads down and simply raise their hands if the statement applies to them. This will allow for more honest responses, where students do not see each others answer and only you (the PL) can make note of the amount of YES's received. Once complete let your students know how many responded in each category. Is there more commonalities than they assumed? Mistakes and bad decisions are very common, how can we turn these around?

# data[].attributes.body
Being a leader is not an easy task. It involves keeping in mind the best interests of others while also being true to oneself. In this activity, students will first reflect on themselves, as a leader of their own lives.
Have students write down 2-3 colors that they feel are representative of them. They will also determine an animal, a location, and any other natural element (tree, flower, sun, tornado, etc). Once they have this list completed, students should create artwork that incorporates each of these listed items. There is no need to have a perfect or finalized version of this as the goal is simply to have a reference for the next portion.
Students will now look up what each element represents through a quick google search. Students will only need to type "what does ______ symbolize" and the answer may be written down. After they have looked up every element. have students summarize what that would mean for their artwork and themselves. Is this a true representation of their character or is it something entirely different?
*If a computer lab is not available, consider using one device for your entire group, where you (the PL) projects the search so that students with the same element can have their response. Alternatively, call out what each element represents if a projector is not available.

Today we're playing "telephone" with a spin. Have students line up while leaving room in between them. If possible consider doing this activity outdoors so that students can stand arms-length apart. You will whisper the secret phrase to the first student, and they will then whisper the secret message from one person to the next. However, students must speak without letting their mouth close. Regularly, we close our mouth and press our lips together to make the correct sounds. In this case, students must keep their mouth open to prevent their lips or teeth from touching. It's almost as if they're doing an open smile the whole time :D
Once the message gets to the last student, have them announce the phrase to see how close they got!

Have students face one another as they aim to draw each other. Students cannot look down to their paper and must only face forward to their partner. Each will be working on the portrait at the same time as they do this. Once all pairs are done, check to see what the results were. Was anyone able to create a steady image or was a nose drawn where the eyebrows should be?

# data[].attributes.body
Students will pair up and fold two paper airplanes together, however, both must use their non-dominant hand. Students will not be able to say any words to each other and must find ways to communicate via body language. For example, if the students that are working together are both right-handed, they must only use their left hands to complete this, and cannot speak as they do so.
Remember they are both working on the same paper airplane together, before starting their second one.
Once all students have finished their two airplanes, consider taking them outside for a quick flying test to see which airplanes can get the furthest.

In this game, students will race to get across the designated area while only stepping on the allowed "stepping stones".
Students will create groups of 4 and will only be provided with 3 pieces of repurposed paper, these will serve as their stepping stones. (Let's try to use paper that was meant to be recycled already😇). Students will be able to move and adjust their 3 stepping stones, however, they must do so with caution because if they touch the ground, their team must start again. The first group to get their team across and back again wins!
**If the papers are too small for your students, feel free to add one more "stepping stone" for every group! Alternatively, you can use larger spaces such as hula hoops, just be sure to also increase the amount of students per group so that the challenge remains.

Team chants are a great way to encourage your group to support one another. Have your class come up with a team chant that can be used through out the day or in program wide games. Remember that friendly competition is great way to spark community building within your group. As we have program wide games, this chant can be lead by both you and your students.

Have you ever heard of Book Nooks? These are miniature models that are placed in between books in order to give an illusion of a hidden world within the shelves.
Every Friday we will be working on these book nooks so that we can give this project the time it deserves!
Before we begin the construction of this other world, it's important that we define what our theme is. In these projects we are creating world that is safe and welcoming of us. This means that students will create an ideal space they would want to experience in real life. Will that be a modern city by the beach, or a hidden forest where technology and nature meet? Whatever it is, students should take this day to carefully design every detail they want to see in their finalized project. This is a very important first step because these are highly intricate pieces. Meaning that not having a plan isn't ideal. Don't worry though! Plans can definitely change as creativity strikes, but it's good to be prepared.

It's likely that we've all seen posters like this at some point, but today we'll be putting our own spin on these. Students will be creating word art posters using the most unusual or funny perspective they can. The goal is to make the most absurd "motivational" poster we can think of.
Have students create them using water color so that they keep a similar appearance as these kinds of posters. In the end, have students vote for their favorite poster. If possible, hang up all of your students' "motivational" posters so they have something to encourage them throughout the day.
The goal isn't to make fun of posters such as these, rather it's to acknowledge that there are moments when a serious approach isn't exactly the best. As they paint, ask your students: Have you had a time where you reacted really strongly to something and later realized, it wasn't that serious? How did that go?

# data[].attributes.body
Students can paint the outer sections in any order they'd like as long as they keep the center section saved for last.

# data[].attributes.body
Part 1
Using the large canvases (11x14in), students will be creating a collage of paintings. This canvas should be divided into 5 sections using painters tape. (A visual explanation is attached to the following post). Though only one section needs to be taped off at a time, this is so that the paint doesn’t spread onto the other sections.
Students will sketch based on their thoughts and feelings at this particular time. Whatever they feel inspired to create, they may do so. The goal is for students to be allowed a moment of relaxation and autonomy as they paint.
Students will revisit this canvas once a week in order to add to the next segment.

Pop Art began as a way for artists to rebel against traditional views on art. They felt limited by the expectations of "professional" art that didn't take into account their every day lives. Pop Art became an art form that was easily seen and created by all people regardless of their formal education.
In this activity, students will create a piece using the stylings of Pop Art in order to highlight something they feel strongly about. Perhaps they want shorter school days, or longer lunch breaks, whatever it is, students can express their message through art!
Consider using markers for this activity, this will allows for a stronger presence of colors.

Frames can be made from a simple black sheet of paper for a modern look, or they can be decorated based on preferred style.

In this activity, students will be creating summer landscapes using the art form of pointillism (dotting). Students can first lightly sketch out the scenery with pencil, but be mindful of not creating any harsh lines. Pointillism only incorporates dotting, rather than any drawing, shading, or coloring.
Students should leave an approximate 1 inch border blank on their papers so that it is easily moved.
Once completed, students should create a frame that's slightly wider than an inch so that it layers perfectly over the artwork. This is done by using a paper of the same size and cutting out a rectangle from the center. A sample photo is provided in the following post.

# data[].attributes.body
Remember, the details come from the layers!

# data[].attributes.body
Every person has their own unique qualities that come together to form "the bigger picture." In this activity, students will create layered art that comes together to represent any aspect of their life. Through this medium, students will not be drawing details on paper, rather they will be cutting details out so that these layers form the image. Students can create any sort of image that represents them. For example, those that love nature and wish to go camping may create an image similar to the one above. (An additional sample is attached to the following post).
Keep in mind that the layers that are further behind are foundational layers that are more simple in their design. While layers towards the front are more complex as those are the the details that finalize the image.
Ask your students:
How is this similar to the way we view others and ourselves? What are some foundational layers in your life? What are details of your identity that make you, you?

# data[].attributes.body
Students will be partnered as they sit back to back and try to stand up from the floor without separating. Students can pick their own partners or they can be randomly assigned. If there are any duos that cannot stand, allow their classmates to support whether that be through encouragement or by giving ideas! Once all students have stood up with a partner, have students form trios and attempt the challenge as a unit!

# data[].attributes.body
It's the first day of summer and whether we know most of our students or none of our students, it's important to have an introduction of sorts!
Have students create anagrams of their names; this means that students will rearrange the letters of their name in order to create something different. Next, have students create name plates or name tags using this anagram name. The goal will be to use these as a way of remembering everyone's actual name🤭

*Did you know the artist Halsey is using an anagram of their real name? Their birth name is Ashley, but they mixed those letters up to get Halsey!*

# data[].attributes.body
Have students organize themselves based on their birthdays. The rules are simple, they cannot communicate using any words (written or spoken) but they can use other form of body language to respond to each other (pointing, nodding, etc). Once the students have finalized their order, ask every student their birth date, with year included if you have mixed ages. Good luck!
