I'm a little late on posting this one...
For the three weeks leading up to spring break my students worked on researching and writing biographies. This was a fun and interesting process (I have made a few notes on what I will do differently next year) but overall I was very impressed with my students work. They chose all sorts of famous people to research...from Amelia Earhart and Thomas Edison to Ringo Star and Rob Zombie (I would like to note that I strongly encouraged these two to make other choices, but they insisted!

Finally once they had finished the research and writing process I invited their parents to come in and watch the students present their biography to the class. I also told my kids that for 5 bonus points they could dress up as their person of interest. It was so much for to see them dressed up! Below I have posted a few of my favorites, if there would have been an award for best dressed they would’ve won!
