Reading Biography Projects

My reading class recently completed independent biography projects. For the projects students were asked to select a biography from the school library. After reading the book, the student shared what they learned about their famous person by completing one of three projects: create an ABC book listing facts about the person from their book, conduct a talk show interview as their famous person, or share items relating to their person in a "biography bag."

I was very impressed by the amount of work some of the students put into their projects! They actually exceeded my expectations with their creativity! Here are some photos from their presentations.
