<p>Levels: Intermediate. Secondary, University, and Adult This collection of 20 brief biographies of Alfred Nobel and a representative selection of past and present Nobel Prize winners is back by popular demand! All six prize categories are represented: Peace, Literature, Economics, Physiology or Medicine, Physics, and Chemistry. The winners' countries include: South Africa, India, Tibet, the United States, Poland, the Soviet Union, Germany, Egypt, England, China, Columbia, and Sweden. Who are these materials for? Anyone building listening and reading skills. The readings are arranged from easy to difficult. There are three audio CD's available. Each reading has been recorded twice by one of seven native speakers, male and female, from different parts of the United States. On the first two CD's, the readings are slow and deliberate. On the third, the same readings are read faster, at the speed of natural conversation. At the back of the student workbook, the readings are reprinted with key words left out. Much of this key vocabulary is repeated in the selections for reinforcement. The number of blanks in the exercises increases as the selections become more difficult. This is an excellent way to get students to focus on word spelling and meaning. The format of the materials allows maximum flexibility. The book can be used as a reader or for listening exercises alone. Students can read and then listen or vice versa. And, of course, they can use the slow or the fast CD, or both. Teaching suggestions are included in the book. Photos from Nobel Foundation archives.</p>

DeWitt Famous Women of the 20th Century gives each student one of 40 biography cue cards on some of the strongest, most successful and inspiring individuals of this last hundred years.
