I found these articles on BYU's Center for Teaching and Learning
website. There are several other articles that are also interesting on
there, but wanted to point out these especially.

Leadership Academy - Book and Biography Ideas
BOOK IDEAS
From Angie Moore: "Perhaps in Core we could study great and important people, events and civil discourse/communication. (I have a great little book I love on civil discourse. It would be fun to role play and learn). Then in journeyman we would study the constitution, some of the Uncle Eric books and do some simulations or something to make it more real to them: Here is the Uncle Eric books in The Law and Politics set
Evaluating Books: What Would Thomas Jefferson Think About This? (Revolutionary War period or Early Modern Age period)The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens
TJEd for Teens
"The Element" by Ken Robinson
BIOGRAPHY IDEAS
Thanks, Marni, for putting the following together:
I put this together for my own benefit, but thought others could use it as well. Feel free to give suggestions for more! I got some excellent ideas and information using the book "Lessons from Great Lives" by Sterling Sill (the older version with no co-author has several more biographies than the newer version). Elbert Hubbard's "Little Journeys into the Homes of Great..." series seems to have some great information as well, but I haven't had a chance to read about very many people there. Another great source is "10 Great Souls I Want to Meet in Heaven" by S. Michael Wilcox. In planning for the presentation I've gone to other sources as well, of course.
The dates listed are when they were used in the original Vanguard group. The first two years we didn't use the history periods, but I'm over Leadership Academy for the Kaysville, UT branch, and we decided that under the Leadership Lens it was less important to have someone from the history period than it is to have someone that is a great example of the principle. Still, it's nice to have it organized this way.
As you'll see, the Middle Ages are pretty sparse! Help? :) When I was creating this, it was because I was studying all these great people and didn't want to forget about them as Vanguard possibilities. Apparently I need to study about more people in the Middle Ages.
