Famous People

                              Biography Project Begun




The students chose their biographies at media this week. We will read the texts in class and explore why the chosen person is famous and what lesson can be learned from the person's life. Students will annotate their book as they read, recording facts on sticky notes. Upon completion of the text, the notes will be sorted as interesting or important. The grade two informative pillar will help students organize their thinking for a final multi-media presentation to their classmates.

Do inquire about what prompted their choice, what they have learned about why the person is famous, and what lesson they learned. Share thoughts on famous people and the leadership skills they have. Ask about the character traits their person possess. You will be impressed by the quality of the discussion and the higher level thinking skills demonstrated by your child.
