Right now we are investigating people who broke rules for a greater good.
Some examples that students have begun to explore are:
Engelbrekt Engelbrektsson
Che Guevara
Rosa Parks
Aaron Swartz
George Washington
Malcolm X
Part of the project is to learn the life story of the person you choose to study. Focus on what the person believed in, what they did and what they ultimately achieved.
Instead of formal presentations, we're having a seminar on Thursday 23rd April. There each student presents the person they studied and we discuss each one in turn.
Is there anything special about this person's character/personality?
What influenced this person to rebel against the existing order?
What problems in society did this person try to address?
Would that person be content today or do you think they would still feel the need to rebel?
Do you agree with everything this person did?
