Hello blog readers! How are you doing today? It is such a beautiful day today, it makes me smile. So what is new with you? Please send me updates via email at Jill@Leadingforlife.com or you can leave messages on here (I love hearing from students AND teachers)!

As for me, yesterday I was in Palmdale with a group of 160 middle school students in ASB, AVID and GATE. We had a full-day leadership conference and focused on the difference we can make at school and in our personal lives with a powerful CHOICE-a choice to: Be the difference--that makes the difference!

This Friday I am with at Valley High School in CA and excited to work with these student leaders again.

If you are looking for some leadership activities to run with your students…check this one out…. I’ve heard many teachers talk about it, so I had to try it with my 7th grade leadership class- HUGE HIT!

(Just cut and paste this into a document and you have lesson for class).

The Music In You

Pretend you are writing on the back of the CD –list the song title, artist (if you know it) and why that song resembles you.

List a song that…

Song 1-Describes the “real you”
Song 2- About your dreams/goals
Song 3- Makes you happy
Song 4- Reminds you of a role model
Song 5- Describes good leaders
Song 6- Makes you think of being a kid
Song 7- Describes the way the world sees you
Song 8- Makes you think of your friends
Song 9- Makes you forget your worries and lets you relax
Song 10- Describes how you want to the world to be

For example

Song Ex- Waiting on the World to Change, John Mayer
This song makes me think of how I want the world to be.

***There is not a right or wrong answer, be creative, think about the music you love and WHY you love it! When you are done, you can even burn a REAL CD to share with your class and friends.
