[LM_NET] Target: Biography sources about Humanitarians

[Nancy Stiner <nstiner@MCHSI.COM>]

Have an 8th Grade English class starting a research project about 
Humanitarians.   Need ideas on people that would be good for
8th graders to research. 

Quote from teacher:

"Soon we will be beginning a research project in 8th grade language 
arts. I would like to compile a list of at least 26 humanitarians. These 
can
be people who have given of themselves in any number of ways for the 
good of others-people who inspire you and are good role models! I want 
to promote volunteerism and just plain old good service to the community 
and world. I plan on requiring three sources, one of which cannot be 
from the internet. I would also like some non-traditional humanitarian 
names to make them learn about people they might not have heard of before."

I also just received a donation for some books so am looking for some 
good sources for books.  Will use Follett and their advanced search
form

Thanks so much,
