We are wrapping up our biography unit and as a final celebration the students have chosen a person in history that they read about. We would like to have them bring in additional facts to supplement the book that they read. We will be writing our speeches/presentations at school but the poster project for a Living Bio Museum will need to be done at home. It is due on April 2nd. Feel free to visit the following sites for additional facts: http://gardenofpraise.com/leaders.htm, http://www.ducksters.com/biography/, http://www.factmonster.com/people.html, http://www.kidinfo.com/american_history/famous_historical_people.htm.

They will be using the book that they read and are expected to gather information about the following:

• birth date and place
• death/or where and what they are doing now
• a childhood story
• hobbies or interests
• why they are famous
• challenges/problems the person faced
• Interesting facts
• greatest achievement/accomplishment of the person

Here are some examples of projects:
