Attributes of a leader--Martin Luther King, Jr.

Today we discussed the attributes of a leader. We read the story My Brother Martin by Christine King Farris and identified character traits of Martin Luther King, Jr. that made him a leader as well as sited evidence for each attribute. The students worked together to identify these traits and explain their evidence for each trait.

Trait: Visionary
Evidence: The words he said to his mom; his I Have a Dream speech.

Trait: Clever
Evidence: The pranks he pulled as a kid; his words were clever.

Trait: Brave
Evidence: Stands up to white people; boycotts; does the right thing.

Trait: Truthful
Evidence: Told his mom the truth; kept his promise.

Trait: Persistent
Evidence: He never gave up.

Trait: Honest
Evidence: Tells the truth; kept his word.
