Directions

Pick one of the people below to research. 

  • Mahatma Gandhi
  • Malala Yousafzai
  • Susan B. Anthony
  • Wangari Maathai
  • Nelson Mandela
  • Cesar Chavez
  • John Lewis
  • Mother Teresa
  • Dalai Lama

Then read at least TWO sources about your person.  At least ONE of these sources must be a book from the cart.  The second source can be another book or an article from the binder.

When you have read your book(s) and article, use the source saver to record the information from your sources and cite them!

The articles below are marked with *, +, or -. Here's what that means:

  • (*) "just right" level for many 5th graders 
  • (+) challenge reads
  • (-) easier reads -- check these out if the (*) articles seem a little confusing!
