Goal

To engage students in the writing process and use their creativity to bring a historical figure to life.  

What will be done with my students

Using The Who Was/Is books, students will find an inspiring person in history to write a biography on. After the students read about the person of their choice, they will be motivated to write about them. The students will write the biography in 1st person, as if they are the historical figure. Once their writing has been taken through the writing process, the students will use their creativity to make a hanger person of their historical figure. To wrap up the project, students will use technology to record themselves saying their report. Finally, they will create a QR code of their recording to be attached to their hanger person, bringing their historical figure to life.  

Benefits to my students

The cluster of students I have are in the Cambridge program. These students benefit from learning experiences and choice. The students get both of these with this writing activity. They will gain knowledge on a historical figure, as well as how to write a report in 1st person.  

Budget Narrative

The budget includes a selection of Who Is/Was books for student choice. It also includes the materials they will need to create their hanger person.
