BIOGRAPHY PROJECT with a BIOGRAPHY REPORT
- Zip
What educators are saying
Description
This is a living biography project in the format of a wax museum. It's a great project to complement a genre study of biographies, an author study, social studies concepts, and more.
You have the option to do a living biography museum where families come in to school and the students "perform" in character or can instead be used simply as an independent research project in class or as a homework assignment. If you opt not to have students dress in costume (which can be a hassle for the parents since most kids can't put their own costume together), they can make a poster board costume with a space for their head to pop through. A-DOR-ABLE!!!
In the past, I've done the living museum and had students prepare a brief speech to recite in character. It was awesome seeing all of the presentations! This year I opted to send it home as a homework project and will instead take their photos with their poster board and display them with the written report.
WHAT IS INCLUDED:
✔ project directions and expectations to send home with students that walk them through how to complete the project, display a visual model of what the poster should look like, and outline the expectations in the format of a criteria checklist
✔ graphic organizers to help students guide their research, document their findings, and record their sources
✔ student report cover with space for a picture of the student in their costume or space to draw a picture
✔ student writing pages that students can use for their formal report
