This Famous People Notebooks set includes all current Famous People Notebooks (more to come!)

Explore famous people from history who left a significant impact on art, space exploration, Christianity, science, and technology through 10 self-contained lessons per each unit. The lessons are constructed in a simple format: short and informative text followed by comprehension questions and a space for written narration.

You are welcome to complete each lesson in any order that suits your current study. However, please note that completing the lessons in order will provide your student with basic understanding of different periods in art history.

Each lesson begins with a short and informative text about the famous person studied. Your student may read the lesson to himself or aloud then answer the comprehension questions. There is a space provided for written narration. To aid a student who struggles with reading comprehension we suggest using the comprehension questions as writing prompts for this section. A parent or teacher may read the text and/or the questions orally if that is beneficial to your student.

Vocabulary Words

Suggested vocabulary words are bolded to easily prompt the student to take notice. We suggest having your student look up any unknown bolded words to encourage proper understanding of the text. You may want to have your student create a notebook with the words and definitions. The student may look up the words in another source, however, there is a glossary at the end of the study.

Research Project

Once the student completes the comprehension questions and written narration there is a section for additional information. At the end of the study, your student will select his favorite famous person from each unit to study further with additional resources of his choice and then write a narration on the paper provided. Lastly, there is a final review quiz for your student to complete.

*Answer keys for comprehension questions for each lesson and final review quiz are provided.
