Rabindranath Tagore is part of Rhythm Prism's Learning Library/Biography catalog. Each book in this series highlights the achievements of one life. Subjects are chosen carefully: each had a significant impact on world events and each left a positive contribution as a legacy.
From the perspective of one life, larger events are studied. In the case of Rabindranath Tagore, his position in Indian literature is examined as is his influence on the Indian independence movement. The historic context of his life is also explored, as are events that occurred subsequent to his death.
Every book in the Learning Library/Biography series contains a map and map study questions. There is a reading comprehension and a vocabulary section. An essay is suggested at the conclusion of these exercises.
Finally, each book includes a picture gallery. The gallery is entertaining and at the same time addresses issues tangential to the subject.
Suggested age group: 8 to 13.
