Biography report progress and reminders


Continue reading your biography. We have completed our drawings and I am impressed with the work on these.  They are amazing!

We will be working on the poem about the famous person for the next week and a half.  Gather up information that you want to include in your poem and bring to school.  Use it to help you write your poem.                    


Poem: Final copy                        December 16th
·      The first draft will be worked on in class and completed by December 9th.  This will be done using a method we will discuss in class.
·      Your final copy needs to be in your BEST handwriting and as error free as you can get it.

All of the other (The paperwork, poster and AR test) deadlines are in January. Our completion will be a celebration to show what we have learned.  We will put on a wax museum on January 10th.

Here the guidelines so that you can be working towards that goal:
Wax Museum Speech                      January 10th
·      This activity will give you an opportunity to meet your benchmark in public speaking.  You will need to dress up as your person and pretend you are the person speaking.  Prepare a brief (1-2 minute) speech telling about your contributions, and about your life.  Please rehearse at home.  Try to memorize your speech if possible.
·      You do NOT have to purchase anything to dress up as your person.  Your costume should be homemade and creative, yet simple.  In addition to dressing like your person, you could bring objects that represent your person. Please make sure your props are school appropriate (no weapons etc.). 
·      You will need to present yourself at our Wax Museum assembly for the school and then again that evening for your families. You will be required to give an oral presentation as if you are the famous person. You should speak in first person. Remember to share the most important things that you learned, but keep it short.  You will deliver your presentation multiple times as people will tour as visitors to a museum.
