recommendations for a famous person to do a biography report on

i recommend Abraham Lincoln

Hey there dawn I would tell my child to do a report on a British chap I am a huge, huge fan of right now and his name is Derren Brown. He is amazing, well I think he is! If you hold fire I shall explain a little more about him soon in a discussion that I am planning to start about him.

I would recommend someone whose life can transmit a value or a message to our youngsters. I would choose Gandhi out of the personalities you have mentioned. His revolutionary ideas of peace has brought change to his country without bloodshed. Even if he paid with his own life. I would suggest to watch his movie. Ben Kingsley portrays the part of Gandhi in an admirable way.

What about an American hero? Basically, she has to choose for herself - you can only offer suggestions. It must be someone that she is interested in or else this will be such a chore for her to do. My braion is fried. have to go out on the road. If I think of anything I will contact yuou later. Good luck

Tell her to do it on Beethoven...then give me the info so that way I don't have to do my report on him! ..ask her if she can make it 5 pages long please? lol... that or any music composers...that would impress the teacher.

I would recommend Harriet Tubman, Nancy Regan, Ronald Regan, Joan Of Arc, Catherine the Great, Crazy Horse, and I am sure I could come up with a million others lol.

women have always been looked down upon.why not suggest her to do a report on indian women and their struggles in coming up,pratiba patil(indian president) is one such an example.

I would first of all ask my daughter who she thinks would be a good person to do the report on. If she came up with noone, I would say, do you want to do it on a woman or man, someone that is a movie star, a former president, ect. From there give her the list to choose from. I think all of the ideas given were wonderful. It all depends on your daughters interests. It would be more fun to do a report on someone you have some interest in rather than just someone you pick out of thin air.

I would pick Anne Frank. Author of 'Anne Frank's diary.' An uplifting and ultimately sad story of a young jewish girl during WW2.

What about Hellen Keller? Desomond Tutu? Queen Elisabeth? Princess Diana? Mother Theresa? Winston Churchill? Margaret Thatcher? Rev. Al Sharpton? First ladies like Lady Bird Johnson? Those are the ones I can think of at the minute.

Of those that you listed, I believe that Susan B. Anthony would be the best choice, but I would also add Helen Keller to the list.

I think the best thing is to let your daughter decide let her choose someone she is interested in and then she will really want to do the report. I would let her pick some names and then guide her towards the one I thought would be the easiest.

I am sure you have picked one by now. I would do the one I can get the easist info on and lots of pictures to use of them. Sometimes it can be hard getting info (or lack of it) You can let me know who she choose to write about. Cleopatra or Marilynn Monroe sounds good also.

Heyya dawnald! For her age I might recommend Helen Keller. If you wanted to have fun with it maybe she could write about Dolly Parton. Your names are pretty good ones too though.

Sitting Bull, Black Elk, Chief Joesph of the Nes Pierce-Wounded Knee,Montezuma, the ancient kings and queens of Hawaii-Queen Lilyokalani (not sure of the spelling), Paul Revere...

Amelia Earhart. Marge or Lisa Simpson.

If she were looking for someone that would be well covered in books, she should try any of the founding fathers. Also Abraham Lincoln would probably be the person with the most literature concerning him! No trouble finding info with him!

You know with Martin Luther King day coming up that would be a great person to write about. He did a lot of awesome things when he was alive and I feel your daughter would learn a lot from that. Thanks for this discussion good luck with it and happy mylotting to you.

i would get my daughter to write it on johnny cash

Sacagawea Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce Squanto Eleanor Roosevelt Amelia Earhart Sandra Day O'Connor or Ruth Bader Ginsberg Jane Goodall Mother Teresa Indira Ghandi A few more names out of the hat.
