IMAGES OF GREATNESS
Understanding Giftedness Through Eminent People, 2nd Edition

By Katha Decker Williams

Images of Greatness encourages student learners, grades 4-12, to investigate giftedness through the study of eminent people. All activities are based on one or more of the five dimensions of the Autonomous Learner Model. Students select and research an eminent person who has made, or is making, a positive impact on society. They become an expert on their chosen person as they do a variety of activities including: pre-post test; Who Am I?; class brainstorming activities; A Glimpse of Greatness; researching and writing a bio-riddle and a biographical sketch or a biography magazine; making a lifeline; creating and constructing a learner center; researching the person’s favorite food; creating a costume; taking part in a news conference; and actually taking the role of that person in the culminating activity, The Night of the Notables. Assessments are included. The unit has become a standard for anyone using the Autonomous Learner Model, and brings rave reviews from faculty, parents and community.
