Hopefully, they will identify that:</p><p>Main Dancing Guy (Matt Harding): – Did something different – challenged the process – Was bold, took risks, and he didn’t seem to care what others thought – Inspired a new vision of how the spaces and places in the video could be utilized – Not only about him anymore but something bigger – Enabled the crowd to act – empowered them to make the dance their own – The first to model the dance – Showed the others his dancing technique and saw them as equals</p><p>Other dancers: – Transformed the 1st dancer into a leader – Showed courage to join in – Showed others how to follow – Followed and learned from the 1st dancer </p><p>5. Lead the students in a more personal discussion. Explain to the student that going to college is risky and it takes courage. Talk about where they have been leaders in their life and where/how they can continue to act as leaders in high school to prepare themselves to be leaders throughout life. </p><p>STUDENT PRODUCTS</p><p>► None</p><p>CAREER GUIDANCE WASHINGTON ▲ WWW.K12.WA.US ▲ OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Rev 09/2016 Page 2</p><p>The Career Guidance Washington Lessons by OSPI are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.</p>
