Learning about other people's lives

This is a BBC schools site where kids can learn about some famous people in a funny way. In addition to that, on this site young learners can get to know some facts about famous musicians. Bio.Classroom offers lots of biographies as well as Enchanted Learning. We may use these resources to create our favourite famous person's time line.
We may help students with a graphic organizer where they can write biographical details of the person they've chosen : his/ her birth (date and place), family, early life, education, adult life, major accomplishments, how the accomplishments changed the world, and death (date and place).
