Profiles from History, Volume 3

Focusing on the character and accomplishments of leaders who did great things with their lives, Profiles from History Volume 3 provides an introduction to courageous lives worth emulating. Short biographical sketches present a quick look at the innovation and courage of those leaders who changed the world, including Amos Fortune, George Washington, Noah Webster, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, Corrie ten Boom, and others.

Profiling what they are remembered for today, and providing insights into their motivations, discussion questions provide opportunities to think critically about each biography; maps help students to see where events took place; and timelines provide an overview of particular time periods. An activity extends the lesson, and various games (crosswords, word scramble, etc.) provide a fun way to remember the important part of each biography. 18 profiles; 203 pages, softcover, answer key included. Grades 3-5.
