      <!-- ** / Wrapper Table for Spotlight Box(es) ** -->Unit Summary
      This unit exposes students to great minds
      who have made a significant impact on the world. Students take on the role of a
      Great Thinker and through research they answer Content Questions, such as,
      How did these “Great Thinkers” change the world? What obstacles did they
      overcome to change the world?       and Who did their work impact? After
      synthesizing their research information, students create “I AM” poems as well as
      diary entries from the perspective of their Great Thinker. As a culminating
      activity, students become their Great Thinker, presenting the life and
      accomplishments of a Great Thinker to the class. In a final reflection, students
      answer the Essential and Unit Questions, What does it take to change our
      world?       and Which people have positively impacted our world?
