The Grade Five students celebrated biographies by reading a book of their choice, and then dressing up and presenting in the voice of the well-known person. A selection of authors, world leaders, athletes, entertainers, inventors and peace makers made for an exciting day.
The students each made a short presentation in their individual classrooms. Then, all four classes joined together in the library for some round table discussions. In their small groups, students discussed the childhoods, turning points, and most significant contributions of their famous person - all in character. The students' conversations reflected their thoughtful reading and interest in the project.
What did all of these remarkable people have in common? Well, the Grade Five students concluded that the people they read about all had some similar characteristics, such as courage, determination, creativity, spirit and ingenious ideas.
