In groups or in pairs students think about an area they have a
fascination for (eg. music, sports). Alternatively, an interest inventory
might be used.
Students use www.bubbl.us tp create concept maps of people they
belong to their favourite area.
They select the persons to write about.
Using www.wordle.net they make a beautiful word cloud with the
names of people they are going to work with. Alternatively, they make a
slide presentation of the famous persons.
Students search the Internet to collect biographical information and
photos about the person they selected. They also find information
regarding the historical era the famous person lived.
Students use a specially developed graphic organizer to depict and
record information about the person.
Each student’s work is bound in a book.
Students complete a puzzle mural that lists the principles of fame in the
shape of puzzle pieces. They also make puzzles of the famous people
they studied.
Students are photographed with their books.
