As a follow-up to my earlier 2012 News Quiz lesson, I did this Person of the Year activity, based on TIME Magazine's annual POTY feature.
You can either get your students to choose their own POTY, or give them a list to choose from. The TIME Magazine website has a gallery of 40 candidates, each with a short bio, which should provide inspiration if necessary! TIME will be announcing its own choice tomorrow (13 December). My money's on the Higgs Boson (not a person, I know, but neither was the computer back in 1983).
