Learners are invited to join the fun as we explore the lives of influential men and women. They will choose which person’s life they would like to explore. Using a multimedia interactive learning guide, learners will explore their person’s life, contributions, achievements, and quotes they are famous for saying using photos, videos, and text. Once registered for the class, learners will tell me which person they’ve chosen to explore. I will send them a link to the appropriate LINKtivity® Interactive Learning Guide and the student activity pages. There will be a fun project that they’re encouraged to complete when they’re finished exploring. *This is a one-week, learner-directed SELF-PACED class. Learners can only choose one biography to explore in each class. If they would like to explore more than one, they are welcome to register for the class again. I encourage them to explore them all!
