Second Grade Famous American Biography Project
Second grade students will be creating a poster representing a famous American in history. Your student will be asked to make the project “come alive” by decorating a poster board to look like their famous American and presenting their project through a hole in the poster so they look like the person.
Information on the poster must include who (large title on top), when, place of birth, and major contribution. Why is this person important and a famous American? You can also include family information, hobbies, education, death and cause if known. Points are given for following directions and creativity.
Please have your child practice what they will be presenting to the class. They will not be able to read from the board. They must introduce their Famous American and explain why they are important.
Poster and presentation are due: Friday, April 26th, 2019.
Thank you,
Second Grade Teachers
