People I know and famous people - Worksheet
History Resource Description
The "People I Know and Famous People" worksheet is an educational resource designed to help students reflect on the various individuals in their lives and those who have gained prominence in society. It prompts learners to categorize people into different groups: family members, acquaintances from school, individuals they've heard about in the news, and those they believe have accomplished something extraordinary. This exercise encourages students to not only consider their personal connections but also to acknowledge the impact of people outside their immediate circles.
Additionally, the worksheet includes a 'Learn it' section that poses thought-provoking questions about local and national figures. Students are asked to identify well-known individuals from Manchester and the wider UK, fostering an understanding of their cultural heritage. The concept of fame is also explored, encouraging a discussion on what it means to be 'famous'. This educational tool, provided by Focus Education (UK) Ltd, serves as a platform for students to engage with the idea of recognition and influence in both a personal and broader context.
