This is a re-posting of an activity we did last year. It has been updated to include the 2010 Time List.
This is for Ms. Redden’s 7th grade Language Arts class. We’ll be looking at leadership characteristics in both a modern day setting and in the novel The Girl Who Owned a City.
The first site to look at is the Time Magazine Top 100 Influential People of 2010. You can find the site by clicking here.
Click on a person’s name from the list. Read through the person’s description looking specifically for leadership qualities.
Look at the Venn diagram side of your handout. In the middle of the diagram, write down qualities that Lisa and your person share.
On the left-hand side of the diagram, write down qualities that Lisa has as a leader that your person does not have.
On the right-hand side of the diagram, write down qualities that your person has that Lisa does not have.
The next site you’ll look at is the Top 10 Leadership Qualities from HR World. You can get to the site by clicking here.
On your own, answer the three questions on your handout in complete sentences.
