Essential questionWhat does it take to discover or create something new?
Every discovery and every invention started with a question somebody would not let go of. This text set follows eleven people who kept asking.
Eleven biographies from the Hameray Biography Series: Sacagawea, Amelia Earhart, Davy Crockett, Jane Goodall, Bill Gates, Henry Ford, Muhammad Ali, Edmund Hillary, Jacques Cousteau, Alexander Graham Bell, and Steve Jobs. Because the books range from simple to more challenging, every student — beginning readers and strong readers alike — can read about the same topic and contribute to the same discussion. Reading book after book on one topic builds the vocabulary and background knowledge that make comprehension possible.
