1. The Characteristics of Leaders
Last week students at CCF6 brainstormed the characteristics that they thought good leaders demonstrate.
Here is a list showing the terms used as nouns and adjectives with their syntactical context. Use this page to help you write your sentences in the next step:
The list is now in a Google Doc where students should write correct and meaningful sentences for each term. Students can count-off or choose their favorite terms to write sentences about. When the sentences are drafted, they will be reviewed for correctness and then rehearsed aloud to practice English pronunciations.
2. Finding Characteristics You Value
The class brainstormed 18 different — and important — characteristics for for leaders. But no one in the world can be this good! Please choose 4 – 6 that you think are the most important. You will use these to analyse different leaders from the past the present. Let’s practice with one leader who has recently died.

Watch the video and pay attention for examples of any of the 4 – 6 characteristics of a leader that you chose.
When the video is over (or we have watched enough), you will answer this question and support your answer using your 4 – 6 characteristics of a leader:
