5th Grade Biography Report
 |
| Our projects on display in the library. |
This year I switched up the biography project for my 5th graders, they made gift boxes. I found the idea online but can't remember or find the site. Everyone picked a person that they would like to research, the only
limitations is that there must be a book on their level about
that person in our library. Our library has a great selection of biography books so the
kids were able to find a book easily for this project.
After completing the research they began working on the shoebox. The students wrapped a shoe box and made 4 gifts for the person they researched based on what the person would like or want. I LOVE, LOVE how they turned out. The students were so creative with their gifts. Check out the projects below. Biography Gift Box Project

4th Grade Biography Report
My 4th graders also just completed their biography reports, I LOVE this project. It is so much fun and the kids are able to really show their creativity and personality. Everyone picks a person that they would like to research and a book that is on their level about
that person. After reading their book the students then complete the written portion of the project.The report is done in a file folder.
The best part is the project are the presentations! I am kicking my self for not taking pictures of the AWESOME outfits my students wore :(

What were your directions for decorating the shoe box for the 5th grade biographies? I'd like to do this project with my 4th graders. It's a nice change from the folders I've been doing.
