Lesson Topic
Civics & Leadership: Decision-Making with Scarce Resources
Lesson Outline
In the previous lesson, we began to discuss leadership and the qualities of a good leader, I sought to tie this into our study of Civics. Today, we looked at the resource of Time. I had Elle take a quantitative look at her free time Monday through Friday each week. We reviewed all of the daily/weekly activities she participated willingly or by obligation. She began to see that her time was quickly distributed to those various tasks, and that, extra time for other fun activities was, in fact, scarce. I was building her understanding of the challenges that regular people have with managing scarce resources like time. Eventually, the goal is to have her understand how leaders make tough decisions under the same context of scarcity. We will continue this discussion next lesson.

Lesson Comments
I need to sit privately with you and discuss my experience with Elle today. She wouldn't sit still; didn't allow me to teach or get a word in edgewise. She said several insulting comments, including the one in front of you and your guest; and, she even went as far as to completely trash my instruction. She refused to write or participate in any activity I tried to do. Then she packed up about 10 minutes early, although she was already disengaged at that point. Please lets meet tomorrow to discuss further.
