INTEGRATION
While studying your important figures, use web-based resources to have students ask and answer WH questions.
In a pair, have students go to two different web-based resources on each person. Have each student write a who, what, where, when, why and how question from the information on that page. Then have the students switch questions and have the students answer their partners questions.
In addition you can incorporate writing by having them write a paragraph about each person.
