Liven up people study by bringing biography ALIVE! Polette presents activities that lead to research and writing about famous American women, presidents, scientists, explorers, pioneers, and reformers. They come alive when students engage in eyewitness accounts, dramatic oral interpretation, and games.
Great lives can be recounted one line at a time, each line beginning with a subsequent letter of the alphabet. Poetry reports,and readers theatre all become a part of biography study. An amazing trash bag becomes Betsy Ross s flag, Paul Revere s horse or John Hancock s pen.
Students analyze and compare lives using Inventor Bingo, Mixed-Up Biographies, Circle Biographies, Storyboards, Singing Biographies, and Hero Interviews. Biography Units for Ben and Me, How Ben Franklin Stole the Lightning, Snowflake Bentley and The Double Life of Pocahontas are included.
Activities help students become careful researchers,competent writers, and effective communicators.
