We have found that our 9th grade English students have little grasp of history or important people who have made a difference (both positive and negative). They know pop singers, Brad Pitt, Christopher Columbus, Martin Luther King, George Washington and maybe Thomas Jefferson to name a few. A new teacher wants to do a research project with them that opens their eyes to a little more than a pop idol or someone they have already studied a lot. She really prefers this to be a "worldwide" project----people of importance throughout history from around the world. I would love to get names of people from you. If you can name 5 people that you think have had great influence, we will compile a list and share it with you. Thanks.
