I am SO excited to talk about turnings in history with you! It's a fascinating subject that will help you make sense of your world and tie it into the cycles in the scriptures. Another goal I have for class time is to help each of you understand how needed YOU are to successfully transform the difficulties of this fourth turning into the regeneration and renewal of a first generation! YOU are the HERO GENERATION! (If you don't understand what I'm talking about here, read the book!)
Master Level Inspirements:
1. Watch Declaration of
Independence signers' sacrifices HERE. (5 minutes)
2. Read pages 1-22, 49-90, 95-105, 119-122, 254-334 (147 pages) in The Fourth Turning. The bulk of our time together will be spent discussing these readings and how they apply to you and your generation. Be thinking how you fit into the current 'turning'. (I narrowed down the reading so it is more manageable, but you're more than welcome to read the whole book!
Choose ONE of the following inspirements to complete:
1. Come prepared to teach your peers about the
sacrifices made by one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. You could include what their life was like
before and after they took a stand (home, family, job, etc.). Don't spend a lot of time on this unless you want to. This will take up only a brief part of our time together. See this link for a list of signers to choose from.
2. Find an example in the scriptures of a Hero generation (or an example of multiple turnings).
In class we will also be discussing the importance of good mothers for a good society and the need for moral, capable statesmen/women.
