Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
- Story is a basic principle of the mind. One story helps make sense of another.
- The stories we hear and the stories we tell shape who we are and who we become.
- The power of leaders hip can come from within – not only from what we do, but from who we are.
- How might I use the story as a tool for evaluating a current situation? How might the pattern of this story be repeated in another or in real life? Is it an effective pattern? How might I use story to reframe my story?
- What lessons can we (as a people) derive from stories? How can I/we apply them in ways that will transform the present situation into something better?
- What lessons can we learn from the stories of history to help us succeed in the present? How can I help to bring about the changes?
- What leadership skills have I developed
- What leadership qualities will I need to take with me from high school? How can I develop or improve the leadership skills I do not yet have?
- How do I know if I am developing the academic skills that I will need in my future life?How can I use my talents to create new opportunities for myself and for others?
- What qualities do effective leaders share?
- How can I lead through relationships with people as opposed to leading through control over people?
- How do I live a life that will inspire others?
