PEOPLE PROFILES

Throughout history many people have made a name for themselves within the public eye for being skeptical or paranormal celebrities. Exploring their lives through biographical sketches provides a useful activity to learn what factors may have contributed to the particular stance taken in their life and work. By looking at the many factors that influence people, we will also gain a better understanding about the ingredients that can help promote skepticism and critical inquiry in ourselves.

Here we will house a database of resources for researching the lives of famous paranormal and skeptical celebrities. When the database is up and running you will be able to click on a name to access a page of resources and material to help in your research. Teachers can use this area for their own research and also as an area to direct students to begin their activities and assignments. Students are also invited to send in their completed assignments to be archived here for future generations to access and use in their own explorations.

This assignment can vary in difficulty and should be modified to fit the age level to which it is being applied.
