Lord of the FliesLeadership Manifesto

What makes a good leader?

A leader should have a vision or a plan?

Manifesto

A manifesto is what we call a potential leader’s vision or plan.

In a manifesto, leaders set out their intentions so that people can know what kind of a leader this person will be

The manifesto makes the leader’s priorities clear so the people can vote for the leader who matches their own priorities best.

The Island

On the Island, the first thing the boys do is elect a leader but they do it very quickly and without a great deal of thought.

Imagine they had taken more time...

What would the manifestos for the key characters be like?

Your task

Write the introduction to your character’s manifesto and the 5 key statements that would summarise your character’s priorities.

One person in your group will be the chair person and will feed back to the rest of the class

Think about...

What would they do first if they were leader?

What are their plans for getting off the Island?

What would daily life be like with them as leaders? What would you gain from voting for them?

Would your character tell the truth? What might they say about the other characters?

What does Golding think about the character? What is his reason for including the character in the novel?
