Integration • While studying your important figures, use web-based resources to have students ask and answer WH questions. • In a pair, have students go to two different web-based resources on each person.

Then have the students switch questions and have the students answer their partners questions. • In addition you can incorporate writing by having them write a paragraph about each person.
