Maxwell Assignment

First, the purpose of this isn’t to depress you, but since disasters are real and you are now familiar with 2 of John Maxwell’s Laws of Leadership, you will have the skills to confer with the President of the United States on what he should do to aid in the situation based on what a good leader should do in the event of tragedy.
Your job will be to look at possible deaths, injuries, and needs of the survivors. You will have 30 minutes to work in your group to contemplate a rationalized persuasive argument. Remember, you are brilliant, but if you’re not sure, you can do an Internet search to figure out what to do.
Your first job is to exchange e-mails and confer on how you will search and brainstorm. When you come in to your next class, you and your partner will both have a full page journal and a discussion web completed. If you both do them, then you get 25 points. If only you come in prepared (one or the other), you get 12 points. However, if you don’t want to work in a group, you must do both parts.
This will help teach you:
1. How to persuade.
2. How to apply leadership knowledge.
3. How to use the Internet for SCHOLARLY research.
4. How to predict possible consequences based on facts.
