Great or Terrible Leaders: Studying Leadership Across History

This course explores what makes leaders effective or harmful by studying figures from different eras and regions through geography, economics, law, culture and history. Classes include short pre-readings, discussions, debates, multimedia prompts, games, and group projects, culminating in a student research project and presentations about a contemporary leader.

Materials needed:

The teacher will provide readings a week ahead of time for the students to read and become familiar with. There will be film clips and other multi media presentations to either watch ahead of time or sometimes during the class time.
