**Who is a Leader?**

media type="custom" key="5099059" align="center"

The face and actions of a leader are as varied as there are people on this planet. Some are famous, others are not. Some leaders we like, others we don't like. We find leaders in political groups, communities, schools, religious groups, and even among our families and friends. There are leaders all around us. Perhaps we have even been a leader at some point. Throughout this unit you will be exploring the characteristics and traits that make individuals leaders. You will be looking at a general idea of leadership and then moving on to focus on one particular individual. For this unit you will be:

1) Researching the qualities and accomplishments of one leader of your choice. 2) Writing a one page biography on the leader of your choice. This will be posted on the wiki. 3) Creating a 1 minute introduction of your leader using Photo Story. 4) Writing and presenting a 'live' interview in role. 5) Writing a reflection piece at the end of the unit.

Details of each of these parts of the unit will be posted on separate pages of this wiki. You will also be responsible for reading your classmates work and participating in discussions on this wiki. To start off, add your ideas to the anagram for LEADERSHIP. Simply click on the "EDIT" button and add your a word you associate with leadership for each letter of the word. Don't erase anything, just add it behind the last word in list behind each letter. Feel free to make your words in different colours and fonts. Have fun!
