Our list of research candidates are:
1. Nelson Mandela

3. St. Pope John Paul II
4. St. Francis of Assisi
5. Martin Luther King, Jr.

7. Betty Williams and Mairead Corrigan (A Dynamic Duo from Ireland)
8. Aung San Suu Kyi
9. Rigoberto Menchu Tum
10. Malala Yousafzai
11. Jody Williams
Once you have been assigned a Peacemaker, please complete the following brainstorm questions. Your brainstorm will be your source of information from which you will design a poster based on your Peacemaker. Please copy and paste the following questions into a Microsoft Word Document.
  1. Where and when was your Peacemaker born?
  2. Provide a brief summary of their upbringing/childhood/adolescence. Were there any major events in their childhood/adolescence that contributed to their desire to make peace in the world?
  3. What was their MAIN goal? Did they live this goal out through their actions?
  4. List 3-5 of their major contributions to world peace.
  5. Did your Peacemaker win any prestigious awards for their contributions to world peace?
  6. Provide 3 important quotes stated by your Peacemaker.
  7. Is your Peacemaker still alive? If so, where are they currently living and what occupation/job/career do they have? If not, when did they pass away, and what country were they laid to rest in?
  8. Provide Three Interesting Facts about your Peacemaker.
Once you have completed your brainstorm, please save as YOUR LAST NAMES, PEACEMAKER BRAINSTORM.
Your posters will be presented to our class next week.
God bless!
