Famous Women of the Twentieth Century by: Lisa F. DeWitt Famous Women of the 20th Century gives each student one of 40 biography cue cards on some of the strongest, most successful and inspiring individuals of this last hundred years. The cards are taken out of the book, and mounted on colored paper and laminated if you like - that way they will last for years. Each student reads a biography and then takes on the role of the woman described in a variety of creative activities that are explained in the book. The women chosen come from 18 different countries. They are (or were) scientists, writers, business tycoons, and national leaders. The students will get good practice and gain some interesting insights while they talk. They will also work on their reading and skimming skills.
