Biography Projects

Tuesday, May 14, 2013

My kiddos have recently finished their biography reports. They came out SO great! I gave them a choice, they could make a bottle doll and write a report or they could create "quilt squares", which is an outline of that person's life on a poster board. 

We did our presentations today, the kids said they LOVED making the bottle dolls. Albert Einstein = adorable! 

Can you match the other famous Americans to their dolls? We've got Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Lincoln, Jane Goodall, Rosa Parks, Thomas Jefferson, Gabby Douglas, and Jan Ernst Matzeliger (WHO?! I know I LOVED learning about someone I'd never heard of before! He invented a machine that attached the upper part of a shoe to the sole, making shoes affordable for everyone!)

Here are some of their bottle dolls:

More projects: I have quite a few artistic friends in my classroom! Look at Martin Luther King Jr. Wonderful!

Want to do this with your class next year? Grab my biography project outline for FREE below!

      This is my first time trying it! I will definitely be doing them again, such a fun alternative to traditional book reports!

    These are so cute! I love them! I like how they can be creative if they want with their bottles or do something a little less artsy with the poster!

    Hmm - sounds like a good quality book to add to my pile of books to be read! Thanks for pointing it out. I just completed the new paraphrase of Paul Sabatier's "street to Assisi" - have you read that one?

    Oh my, very funny! perhaps all of us reading should institute work on our own biography of a famous woman. It forever and a day shocks me how little people know of renowned women and how hard it is to access information regarding them for the school-age set.
