November 17: Queen Elizabeth I became ruler of England in 1558. She ruled until 1603. Her enjoyment of Shakespeare’s plays helped to boost his popularity and made him rich. Although television and movies have wider audiences, many people still enjoy attending plays by live actors. What are three things about a live play that would be different from watching the same drama as a movie or on television?
In 1855, Dr. David Livingstone, doctor and missionary, became the first European to see Victoria Falls in Africa. He named it for his queen. If you discovered a new natural wonder, what would you name it? Why that name?
November 18: In 1789, L.J.M. Daguerre was born in France. He invented the first practical way to make photographs (daguerreotypes). Describe a photograph that you like or means a lot to you.
Captain Nathaniel B. Palmer of the U.S. Navy discovered Antarctica in 1820. Although others had spotted it from a distance, he was the first to land on it and determine that it was not another small island. Although tourists and scientists visit Antarctica, no one lives there permanently at this time. If you were offered a chance to visit Antarctica, what would you do to get ready for your trip? List 5 things you would have to do.

Psychologist B.F. Skinner was born in 1904. When asked about the future of computers, he said, “The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do.” What do think he meant by that?
In 1942, two American scientists describe element 94, which they named “plutonium,” after the newly discovered planet. If you discovered a new element, what would you name it? Describe what a new element might be like, and why you chose the name you did.
French scientist Louis Pasteur began work on a vaccine against anthrax in 1877. Pasteur had already proved that microorganisms cause disease, and had invented a way to purify milk and other liquids that cannot be boiled. This process was named pasteurization, after him. If something was to be named after you, what would you like it to be, or to do?
