Is there any person whose name you've heard mentioned a hundred times but never really known anything about? Churchill, Florence Nightingale, Charles Dickens, Queen Victoria?

Or do you like art and would like to describe some paintings or an artist?

Is there a song-writer or poet who you find particularly interesting?

Assignment to be submitted and talked about in class:

Submit a message to your project discussion about what you're going to talk about. Then plan a short presentation. Why did you choose this person, painting etc. What is it that you find fascinating? Bring pictures and think of some questions to ask everybody else, or issues to discuss in connection with your presentation.
