Class experience

. Learners will become familiar with famous scientists, inventors, writer, or artists and their achievements.
. They would be able to questions and to write about the contributions made by historically famous people. 
. Learners will compare the significant discoveries in history and are able to discuss why they think the discoveries occurred.
Learners will not need to use any applications beyond the standard Outschool tools. I will provide PPT and PDFs of the material that is necessary for the class.
I will provide the learners with PDFs of the necessary materials before each meeting. The best biography sources for famous and inspirational people that will be used would be primarily from the list below based on the area of study. In addition, selected sources and books can be used as references to gather information for this class. These biographies give us a historical look into the lives and times of notable people. They help to teach, inspire, and improve us as people. Thanks to the internet, today we don’t need to spend huge money on biography books in our local bookstore. 

1. Biography - Biography has been online for many years and is one of the most well-known sites for memoirs, interviews, and life stories. Biography also has entire sections dedicated to celebrities, history, and culture. Most of the content in these sections takes a long-form article approach.

2. Encyclopedia.com - It can be considered one of the internet's premier collections of online encyclopedias. This site provides reference entries from credible, published sources like Oxford University Press and Columbia Encyclopedia. This site is quite credible as, unlike the other Web sites that allow public editing of their pages, it relies on credible information from reliable sources.

3. Infoplease - It is a reference and learning site, combining the contents of an encyclopedia, a dictionary, an atlas, and several almanacs loaded with statistics, facts, and historical records. Their editors regularly update information, including adding new discoveries and identifying trends to bring reliable and authoritative information. The content is written and edited by professional editors. Parents, teachers, and librarians turn to Infoplease for information on an array of topics, including current events, pop culture, science, government, and history.

4. Citizendium - Citizendium originally known as a "citizens' compendium of everything", can be an open wiki project dedicated to creating a free, comprehensive, and reliable repository of structured knowledge. It was founded in 2007 and has gone through two major governance models before its current one. The community is built on the principles of trust and respect; contributors, or "citizens", work under their own real names. They also focus on creating articles that are useful and that for different reasons could not be written in Wikipedia.

5. Academy of Achievement - The Academy of Achievement aims to provide readers with insight into the visionaries and pioneers who have shaped the modern world. The academy has existed for more than six decades.

6. S9 - This site is like a Wikipedia of biographies. The content is editable by the users, and they also can contribute to the existing biographies on the site. Every day, there is a selection of featured biographies, with many of the selections being for people you might not have heard of but who have achieved wonderful things in their lives.

7. Notable Biographies - The simply organized encyclopedia on famous and historical personalities is very readable with an alphabetically arranged Wikipedia-like presentation. 

8. Women's History Month - It is an official site produced by the US government. The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, and Smithsonian Institution encourage the study, observance, and celebration of the vital role of women in American history.

9. Biographical Directory of the United States Congress - It features a biography for all individuals who have served in the House of Representatives and Congress since the forming of the United States.

10. Academy of American Poets - If literature is more your thing, head to the Academy of American Poets. It offers thousands of biographies of contemporary and classical poets from the US.

In addition, secondary sources can be used if necessary to provide a deferring perspective, which is listed below:
1. Encyclopedia Britannica
2. Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy 
3. BBC Historical Figures
4. National Women's History Museum-biographies.
5. PBS Science Odyssey: People and Discoveries
6. Legacy.com Obituaries
7. Kratkaia literaturnaia entsiklopediia (Краткая литературная энциклопедия)
8. Literaturnaia entsiklopediia (Литературная энциклопедия)
9. Voennaia entsiklopediia (Военная энциклопедия)
10. The Encyclopedia of China Publishing House (Chinese: 中国大百科全书出版社)
11. Encyclopedia of China (中国大百科全书)
12. Encyclopaedia Iranica
