Look at your community and think about who you see that is a leader. Is it someone from your school? Someone from your community groups? From your 4-H club? Maybe it\u2019s an elected official.\u00a0 When you have your example of a leader make a tribute to them by creating a Photojournalism Entry, a Poster, or other display communicating to your audience who the leader you selected is and what they do that makes you admire them as a leader.<\/p>\n<p><b>What you need:\u00a0<\/b>Writing supplies. A camera if making a photojournalism entry, poster board, and art supplies if making a poster, and additional craft supplies like markers, tape, glue, colored paper for other types of displays.<\/p>\n<p><b>How to prepare:<\/b>\u00a0Think about who you know that is a leader and what makes them a good leader. Make a list of the words that you would use to describe this person. You could interview other people who know this person and ask them why they think the person you chose is a good leader.<\/p>\n<p><b>What to do:<\/b>\u00a0Talk to your chosen leader and ask to take a photo of them and then create a photojournalism entry.\u00a0 You will take a photo, caption it, and mount the photo on a white mat or poster board. You should caption with information on \u201cwho, what, when, where, and why\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><b>Reflection Questions:<\/b>\u00a0What makes someone a good leader? How do you think they learned those skills or traits? Are there more people in your life that are leaders? Do you serve as a leader ever?
