Second graders from Cherry Lane School recently learned about biographies and completed their own biography project on an individual of their choosing.

The students researched famous athletes, historic figures, artists and more. They then organized their research into an essay and created their own posters, tri-fold boards or dioramas to showcase their person of study. Each student practiced their public speaking skills as they presented facts about their researched individual to their class. In addition, some students dressed like their famous figure as they shared their individual’s story.

Classmates listened intently and were encouraged to ask questions, compliment the presenter, or talk about a connection that they made. The project was a fun way for students to learn about biographies, channel their interests and showcase their creativity.
