As part of Student Vote the class is exploring different types of government and their differing leadership strategies. Each tribe (table group) discussed what it might be like to utilize the leadership strategies of a dictatorship, democracy, or consensus model when making decisions. In one case they imagined themselves as a babysitter working on getting children to bed, in another scenario they imagined themselves deciding on school party plans with a large group of peers. And there were many more scenarios beyond these. In each case tribes discussed which type of government would be the most effective. It was very interesting to hear everyone's ideas and differing perspectives!
HOMEWORK (Gr. 3/4/5): In addition to this exercise, students have been asked to discuss with their families which countries currently utilize: democracy, monarchy, constitutional monarchy, dictatorship, and a republic model of governing. Students have been asked to make these notes on their worksheets, and bring back for discussion. Due: Tues, April 18th. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOMEWORK (Gr. 5): Each grade 5 student has picked one type of government to research.
