People Who Make a Difference

We are talking/reading about people who make a difference. Now, it is your turn. Think about a person who made a difference in your native country. It may be a famous person or it may be an ordinary citizen. Research more about that person and take notes. Be prepared to include the following when you present this to the class tomorrow (Wednesday):

WHO made a difference?
WHAT did he or she do?
WHY did the person do it?
WHERE did it happen?
WHEN did it  happen?
HOW did this person make a difference?

Please include a picture, if possible (print one out).

Important Message

Hello All,

My email was corrupted with a virus and there was a link here that a hacker had posted. If you ever just see a link in your email with a message like "Hi, click on this link" or just a link, NEVER open it unless it has a message that seems real. It will give your computer a virus. So sorry!

Also, please feel free to join my blog as a registered guest member (use your email). You can then leave comments on my posts. I would love to get more feedback and opinions from you- even if it is very short!

Thanks, and have a great day!
