6. -What has happened in this poem?

7. Leadership
After reading Walt Whitman’s poem, “O Captain! My Captain,” consult the people around you to answer the following questions:
Was the Captain an effective leader or not?
How do we know?
What does it mean, then, to be an effective leader, according to this poem?

8. Good leaders (which isn’t synonymous with good people)
Using your phone as a research tool, find information on someone that your group thinks is a leader. Create a list of the following:
At least 3 significant achievements
At least 3 outstanding qualities (what makes him/her a leader and why?)
You have 15 minutes to do this! Ready, go!

9. “Veni, vidi, vici.” Translation: “I came, I saw, I conquered.”
Julius Caesar
“Veni, vidi, vici.” Translation: “I came, I saw, I conquered.”
-What do you know about Julius Caesar? Was he a good leader, and was he a good person?
-Strategic (in war and relationships), great orator, ambitious
-What impression do you get from someone who would say this? (He was famous enough that Shakespeare wrote a play about him, and we know from our last unit that we should never judge someone on solely one factor—so we are going to get to know him from various angles)
