Biography Search Resources - Where to find the best information about people!

In my 6th Grade Computer Class, we are starting our Historical Figure Presentations.  These are presentations about the Historical Figures in our Social Studies Text Book.

When you are researching information about famous or historical figures, it can be hard for some students to find factual and easy to read information.

Below are the sites I have shared with my students to help them in their searches for Historical Figures.

 Very easy to read biographies covering everyone from celebrities to important historical figures.



http://www.history.com/
Very in depth biographies and information about Historical Figures. 




http://www.qwiki.com/
 A Multimedia Search Engine that returns Multimedia Presentations for your search query.  You can find audio, video, links and images all in one search.  Great for ESL Students, Special Need Students, and Visual Learners.

A few days ago I've completed my 6th grade graduation speech and its really good one for me and I like to thank my speechwriter. Most important things are that only the quality speeches can help you to get the better result.
