JSL Reflection

What did you learn about leadership from the Jewish Supreme Leader (JSL) election project? I learned that people are leaders in different ways.
Through the stories of the leaders we studied, what are some positive ideas the Torah teaches us about leadership? Everybody makes mistakes.
What are some negative ideas the Torah teaches us about leadership? People still make mistakes.
If you could create the ideal JSL, what would that person be like their qualities, their personal story, their weaknesses? Why? They would be a nice but savage talking pug that tries to take over the world.
How do you think leadership has changed from Torah times to modern times? How is it still similar? Old ways to newer ways. It’s not very similar.
How does the JSL election change the way you think about leadership? Why? I didn’t know about a lot of the people and I thought it was only famous leaders until now.

Ogs Great Adventure

We had to think out of the box when answering a question.

I thought will Og get his Moms necklace fast enough.

When did you first begin drawing connections between the different puzzles and pictures?

I never really did, mbernstein did.

I don’t have any.

The puzzles were a very big clue!

The 9 letter word one.

When we learned what the 9 letter one was, it was super hard but we were happy to get it.

What were 3 causes for slavery?

What did white slave owners use their slaves for? Why?

They used them to farm and sometimes build things. Because they didn’t want to work and they needed to raise a family!

What crops did slaves harvest? Why these crops?

Tobacco, wheat and cotton. Wheat to make bread and other foods with wheat. Cotton for clothes.

Where were most slaves from? Why?

Africa, they didn’t have as much as Europeans so it was easy to dominate them.

Why did so many slaves move to the colonies? Was this their choice? Explain.

To help people here farm and help them make things. It wasn’t there choice, they got captured and were crammed in to boats to colonies.

Why were there so many slaves in the colonies?

They got captured, even though most died on the ships they took so many of them that they still got many of them.

What thinking moves did you use when playing this game (questioning, connecting, listening, observing, deducing, reasoning, etc?

When ever I could see someones cards by going into rooms etc, I would do it.

When I organized my information it helped me realize who, where, and with what weapon. Way easier.

Where else do you use these thinking skills (at school, at home, on sports teams, etc)?

If someone stole something I always use my clue skills but the hard part is I need what time was it too.

When something goes missing and you try to find who it is.
