Hi! So my Humanities 7 class wants their first unit to be, "Who is the oldest person in the world?" They still need to refine exactly where they are going with this, but I think they see several possible directions. One approach would be: Who is thought to be the first human, how was that decided, what do we know about the first human, and how do we know that? Another approach would be looking more at longevity and being elderly.
I thought of "Tuesdays With Morrie" as one possible group novel. Do you all have any other ideas, especially for the pre-history/anthropological approach? Thanks!
