Discuss the role of a leader in a group and why it is important for a group to have good leadership. Direct the students to the list of qualities at the bottom of the page. Ask the students to suggest other qualities a good leader should possess. In pairs, they can then debate which of these qualities are most important and order them from 1 – 8. The students should be encouraged to give reasons for why they chose their particular order. As a whole class, brainstorm the types of groups the children would like to be part of in the future. Give them time to record groups they have belonged to in the past and in the present and to decide upon a group they would like to be part of in the future to complete the grid on page 68.
