In this unit you will look at a number of Great Leaders in History. You will be required to consider what makes a Great Leader, in particular what qualities does the leader have that cause people to follow them or allows them to change the world or a part of it.

Student Work
1). After you have watched the above video begin to write comments about what makes Great Leaders great! Remember to read the comments that come before you and add a comment that has not already been added.


 * Do not start exercise 2 until the class has discussed the responses to exercise 1**

2). Pick one of the people in this list and create a short biography on them and explain why you think they are a Great Leader.
