Homework Helpers

INDEX

You’ve been set the task of finding out about a famous person, perhaps as an RE assignment as a person of faith, an History assignment on an individual who made an impact in a particular period, a Science assignment about an influential scientist, a PE assignment about a top class sports person, a Media assignment about someone who hit the headlines, a PSHE or General Studies assignment about someone who started a charity.... the list could go on!

So let Kernowyouth help you. Below is a list of famous Christians, some still living, some dead, who have made a real impact in their particular field. If you click on their name it will take you to a brief summary of their life and achievement which you could use as the starting point on your research. Who knows, you could be convincing your class and your teachers that Christians certainly aren’t a bunch of losers and weeds!
