BENJAMIN BANNEKERLeader Story

Hi, my name is Benjamin Banneker.

I am a leader.

One day, I saw ten men look at the moon.

Two days, later I saw ten men look at the moon.

Three days later, I saw ten men look at the moon.

Four days later, I saw no men look at the moon.

I took my pen out to draw the moon.

Five days later, ten men call out Ben.

They said, "We did not see the moon. "

Ben, can you help us with our hens?

I am a leader critical thinking questions. These questions are designed for your child to

see the leader in themselves. Encourage leadership qualities in your child. Some of the

questions may need to be further researched to garner the best answer.
