Can you guess who these people are?
We have been learning about text structures and text features in Studio 214 and this week we began research on a famous American. Students could choose a person to research and we have used print and non-print resources. We gathered our information and then wrote rough drafts of a biography. Today we have published our biographies after we conferenced yesterday and we are creating posters of our famous Americans. For their posters, we took a headshot of each student for the head of their famous American. (We borrowed the idea from another school and I thought it was too cool!) Students are including text features on their posters using pictures, captions, timelines, diagrams, and titles, to name a few of the features. This has been a fun project and students have learned so much!
