So today you “chose” a name of a historical figure who has a story to tell. You have the following tasks to complete:
1. Write a paragraph about what you think that story might be. Write this as a comment to this post.
2. Talk to an adult (the older the better). Tell adult the information you have on your historical figure and find out whether or not they can teach you anything (don’t expect too much, some of the names are not well known).
3. Read up on your historical figure. Find out what the story is and why they are on the list.
4. Talk to the same person again. This time, you teach them something.
5. Explain why you are on the list as a comment to the next post.
