In case you want just brief samplings of how to use Biographies of Famous People for language or content teaching/learning  purposes and progress, here are the condensed highlights. 

What It Does: 

• present or learn biographical subject matter through multi-leveled readings, whole-class vs. individualized learning, Main-Idea + Supporting Detail Comprehension Quizzes, and generic interactive skills formats ("Reading-Card Kits," the "Expert Game,"  Oral Informational Activities, Bio Quiz Games, and Research Picture Cues).                                                                                                                               
• advance reading/writing + listening/speaking skills + knowledge of history and culture through motivating, engaging, customized, and versatile, and eventually all-encompassing "content," all on a universal topic that interests almost everyone: People, Their Lives, Their Value, Their Significance.
