 * Welcome to the Year 9 Groundbreakers Wiki Site.**

Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that God has a plan and purpose for each of our lives. He wants to “bless us with a future filled with hope – a future of success.” (Bible for Today.) He has given each and every one of us unique and special talents, gifts and interests to enable us to create this future for ourselves and for the benefit of others.
 * GROUNDBREAKERS**
 * Humanitarians and Inspirational Leaders**

The lives of great men and women can challenge and inspire us to make our lives extraordinary. This unit encourages students to investigate the lives of historical and present-day ‘groundbreakers’ from a variety of fields, to find out what they have achieved and more importantly, why and how their success came about. The legacies left by these people can affect students’ lives today and encourage them to consider the type of legacy the wish to leave behind.

During the course of this unit, students will be given the opportunity to:
 * UNIT OBJECTIVES**
 * Identify the humanitarian contribution and qualities associated with prominent personalities such as Mother Teresa and Corrie Ten Boom
 * Identify the positive leadership qualities associated with groundbreakers such as Ben Carson and Martin Luther King
 * Know and understand the contribution and legacies groundbreakers such as Mother Teresa, Corrie Ten Boom, Ben Carson, and Martin Luther King.
 * Appreciate the impact that groundbreakers can have on social institutions and historical events.
 * Discuss they way in which talents, giftings and interests vary according to each individual.
 * Understand that God made us all different for a purpose beyond our own understanding.
 * Develop a greater appreciation of God-given talents and how these can be used to make the world a better place.
 * Understand and appreciate the importance of making a positive contribution to society and how to do this.

Students are to study and create a wiki page about one groundbreaker addressing such factors as: > E.g. Church, H., “Opinions of Mansfield Park”, [|http://uts.ccutexas.edu/~church/opmansfp.html], June 1st 1996
 * STUDENT TASKS**
 * Part 1 - Research (500-1,000 words)**
 * His/her background
 * What inspired him/her
 * His/her achievements
 * Why he/she is considered to be a groundbreaker and whether or not they fit the definition.
 * Each page must be in the students own words.
 * Bibliography must be included and this if the format you must should follow for the Bibliography:
 * Internet: Author, Page Title, HTTP address, Date of Visit

Students are to contribute to other wiki pages within your class. Students must view their classmates' pages and make comments in the 'discussion' section. Students will be marked on the quantity of comments and contributions they make.
 * Part 2 - Contribute and Comment**


 * Part 3 - Reflections (100 - 500 words)**
 * 1) What is success?
 * 2) What personal qualities are needed for success?
 * 3) Find a dictionary definition of success
 * 4) Form your own definition of success (Ms Rogge's Workshop).
 * 5) What did you learn during Ms Rogge's workshop?
 * 6) Why do people fall short of achieving their potential?
 * 7) Why does God want us to achieve our full potential?
 * 8) What do you think about this WIKI project - compared to a written assignment? What do you like and dislike?
 * 9) Extra Work: Read 1 Corinthians 12:4 and 12:12-27. Search for the section where the writer explains how God made us all different so that we can function together to achieve a greater purpose. We are not all called to be successful groundbreakers at the same thing, but each of us has our own unique potential and giftings to achieve amazing things.
