ALBERT EINSTEIN
MALALA YOUSAFZAI

 ALBERT EINSTEIN
A German-born physicist named Albert Einstein developed his first
ground breaking theories while working as a clerk in the Swiss patent
office. After making his name with four scientific articles published in
1905, he went on to win worldwide fame for his general theory of
relativity, and a Nobel Prize in 1921 for his explanation of the
phenomenon known as the photoelectric effect. Einstein immigrated
from Germany to the United States when the Nazis took power before
World War 2. He lived and worked in Princeton, New Jersey for the
remainder of his life.

LEADERSHIP QUALITIES
Albert Einstein was a fantastic leader for all people especially young scientists. I think he
is a fantastic leader because he has discovered many interesting scientific things such as, his
special theory of relativity and mass energy equivalence, it was ground breaking in the
twentieth century. He has also won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1921. He is a leader to me
because I absolutely love science, and thanks to him and other famous scientists we have
leaned so much about our world.

 MALALA YOUSAFZAI
As a young girl named Malala Yousafzai stood up against
the Taliban in Pakistan and demanded that girls be allowed to
receive an education. She was shot in the head by a Taliban
gunman in 2012, but survived and went on to receive the
Nobel Peace Prize. Malala was born on July 12, 1997 in
Mingora, Pakistan. As a child, she became an advocate for
girls education, which resulted in the Taliban issuing a death
threat against her. On October 9, 2012 a gunman shot Malala
when she was traveling home form school on a bus. She
survived, and has continued to speak out on the importance
of education for girls. She was nominated for a Nobel Peace
Prize in 2013. In 2014 she was nominated again and won,
becoming the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace
Prize.

LEADERSHIP QUALITIES
Malala Yousafzai is an amazing leader because she stood up for her rights, and
she was fearless about doing it. She was the youngest person to win a Nobel Peace
Prize which is a huge accomplishment. What I like most about her is she believed
that girls have as much power, strength, and authority as boys do. Even though she
got shot by the Taliban because they believed she was doing the wrong thing she
kept going, and she fought for her rights. This is why I think that Malala Yousafzai is
a great and amazing leader.

Teacher Comments
I like this presentation, because you compared two leaders who won the Nobel
Peace Prize, and you described the individual reasons why each deserved the
recognition, plus you offered some insight into your own personal reasons for
choosing to recognize each one as a leader.
