Students are asked to sign out a biography before February vacation and have 3 - 4 weeks to complete reading it. A biography read for this course should meet one of three criteria: (1)focus on a person from a different time period (2) focus on a person from a different place or who travels to a different place (3) focus on a person from a different culture.
One way to find a biography you might be interested in is to think of an interest, a place, or a person who interests you and then search for that topic (include the word biography in your search) at Amazon.com
