Political Leaders

During class we went over all of the political leaders for the countries Mr. Schick assigned to us.  Some countries have more than one leader in charge.  For example the United Kingdom has a Prime Minister named David Cameron, but also has Queen Elizabeth II as the leader for all of England.  Germany is also a country that has two leaders in charge.  Germany's leaders are President Joachim Gauck and Angela Merkel.  Another country that has more than one leader is Israel.  Israel's leaders are President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.  All of the other countries that we were assigned have only one leader in charge of the entire country.  Brazil's leader is President Dilma Rouseseff.  Their leader is a woman and it is unusual for a leader of a country because usually men have more rites than women.  All of the other countries we researched have men as their most important leader.  The United Kingdom is the only other one with a woman as their main leader, Queen Elizabeth II.  During class we had about fifteen minutes to memorize each country and their leader.  After time was up we were supposed to have a quiz, but instead Mr. Schick had a few people go up in front of the class and see how many they could answer correctly.
