Opis

LIKE TEST PREP presents its workbook series for "Meet Amazing Americans," a website created by US Library of Congress on many great American heroes and heroines. Great for Teachers and Students, this book contains Comprehension Questions, Vocabulary Practice, and Critical Thinking Questions on ten Amazing Americans. 1. Benjamin Franklin was many things: a printer, writer, scientist, inventor, statesman, civic leader, and diplomat. 2. Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, was the first to come from poverty. 3. George Washington Carver is best known for his research on peanuts and his commitment to helping poor Southern African American farmers. 4. Helen Keller, with the help of her lifelong teacher and assistant, Anne Sullivan, learned to read, write, and speak. 5. Rachel Carson, a trained biologist and a best-selling author, made science interesting and understandable to regular people. 6. James Polk, the 11th president of the United States, was too sick as a child to get formal schooling, yet managed to graduate at the top of his class from the University of North Carolina. 7. John Adams, America's second president, worked as a teacher and lawyer before dedicating himself to a life of patriotism and politics. 8. John Quincy Adams was the sixth president of the United States and the first son of a former president who himself became president. 9. Amelia Earhart wasn't afraid to break down barriers. In 1928, she was the first woman to fly as a passenger across the Atlantic Ocean. 10. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States. His eloquence is evident in many speeches including his most famous one, the Gettysburg Address. *www.americaslibrary.gov which owns Meet Amazing Americans, was not involved in the production of, and does not endorse, this product.
