Know/Understand

Choose 1 of the following people to do a 3-5 minute PowerPoint/Prezi presentation on.  Put your choice in the doc here so we don't double up.  Make sure to include 1) why this person was important to the Renaissance and 2) how they showed self-discipline in their life.  I'm asking for PowerPoints/Prezi this time so that you can be as visual as you can.  We want to see and hear as much as we can from these people.

Become/Serve

We've discussed a lot about goals and passions in Vanguard so far this year.  You've had a lot of time to think about it.  Now it's time to put the pedal to the metal and do something about it.  Think of an area in your life that could use more self-control or discipline and set a goal to do something about it weekly or daily throughout the Christmas Break.  Write this goal down and be prepared to report on how it went when we get back in January.  There will be Vanbucks involved for diligence and self-discipline.
