Term 1 Integrated Learning - Leadership

We have been learning all about What makes a good leader.




We identified that good leaders show 6 main character traits. These are Integrity, Trustworthy, Resilience, Goal Focused, Active Thinker and Motivational.


The leadership trait that I think I show the most is Resilience because when I fail to achieve something the first time I keep on trying to achieve it the second time.

The leadership trait I would most like to develop is Active Thinker so I can develop my thinking to come up with new ideas and extend ideas.


Something NEW I have learned about leadership is that it is a skill of being able to motivate people/teams to work towards a goal.


The SOLO level that I reached during this unit of learning is Extended-Abstract because I can evaluate the effectiveness of a leader.


My next step in learning about leadership is to apply everything that I have learned about leadership to my own leadership roles.

Music

WALT - I can describe the characteristics of music from songs of a different time and place

Over the past 7 weeks I have been learning to describe the characteristics of music from songs of a different time and place.

I can describe these characteristics in a piece of music
Melody- A procedure of single notes that is interesting and enjoyable.
Harmony- A combination of musical notes to make it effective.
Timbre- Is a quality of a musical note or sound.
Form- Form refers to the overall structure or plan of a piece of music.
Rhythm- Is a pattern in music that represents that certain type of music.

For my “Evaluating Leaders” research I have been researching about who is a better leader out of Barack Obama and Richie McCaw.


During this unit I have had to use a range of strategies to find the information I needed on Google. This includes:
Cross checking websites to see if they are legit, Linking different websites so people can see what website I got my information off.


I have achieved this goal because…
Because I was able to Complete my planning sheet.
