A short discussion takes place about leadership and the qualities needed to be a good leader. Your class / year / grade is holding an election to vote for this term s / quarter s Class Senators / Prefects / Monitors. Hold a discussion with the class about the positive, negative and interesting aspects of being a leader (PNI). Is it always fun to be a leader? Does it have its negative aspects? Divide the class into 3 groups group 1 brainstorms the positive, group 2 the negative, group 3 the interesting about being a leader. One person in each group can then report back to the class. It is important to emphasize to learners that not being a leader does not make you a bad person. We need all types of people to make things work the world cannot consist of chiefs only.
