Local A.W. Becker 5th Graders Showcase Notable Figures Through Interactive Biography Presentations

Fifth-grade students in Ms. Fiore's class at A.W. Becker recently presented biographies. They read about notable figures from the Who Was/Who Is book series, which includes over 250 titles. Each student chose a person of interest and researched their life story.

After reading the book, the students wrote essays about their chosen person. The essays covered the individual's childhood, family background, achievements, and interesting facts. This task helped the students understand their chosen figure's life and accomplishments better.

Next, the students made posters based on the cover of the Who Was/Who Is book series. The posters included elements from their research. They also had a cut-out space for the student's head, adding an interactive element to the presentations.

During the presentation, each student wore their poster and gave their speech in the first person. This method helped the students present their chosen figure's life story in an engaging way. They also answered questions from their classmates about their chosen figure and received feedback on their presentation.

The presentations covered a wide range of influential figures, including presidents, scientists, inventors, and sports heroes. This project improved the students' research and presentation skills and expanded their knowledge about various influential figures.
