A good place to start is the library. There you will be able to find books called biographies and autobiographies. A biography is book written about a person’s life. An autobiography is a life story written by that person. Other sources may include encyclopedias, videos, magazines, diaries, the Internet, or brochures from the museum. <span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> For your report you will need to write down the source or sources you use to gather your information. This skill will be discussed in class and practiced in the library. Students will have the opportunity to research their famous person in the computer lab but will not be required to use the information in their report.
