Leadership Brain Dump
Part of Lesson Plan: What is Leadership?
Activity Overview / Details
This gives you the chance to see what they already know about leadership- an engaging preassessment of sorts.
Write the word "Leader" in big letters on your whiteboard. Give 1-2 minutes for students to brainstorm every associated idea that comes to mind when they see that word. Have them write them down a piece of scratch paper. At the end of the two minutes, have them write down their two best words on the board. You should have a collection of 30-60 words on the board.
Have someone read off the words to the class.
Transition with something like, "We all came into this class today having ideas about leadership. Our job this morning is to collectively discuss what leadership is and discover a common definition of the idea."
