Evaluating a Notable Person


Some Unanticipated Outcomes

The Good:

A number of reluctant, low-achieving students actually encountered values such as self-discipline, perseverance, integrity and compassion through interesting stories and memorable biographical characters which they found on the Internet.

The Bad:

For some topics chosen by students, there was a dearth of information.Consequently, several students were forced to make alternative selections--one somewhat less interesting to these disappointed students.

The Ugly:

In one particular section of the Lab, the computers frequently malfunctioned--a frustrating experience for students seated in that area.

And The Next Time:

Possibilities include e-mail and/or videoconferencing with actual personalities who agree to an interview session with students, or similar correspondence with writers who publish biographical features.
