Famous Dancer Biography Research Project for Google Slides™

Students will choose a famous dancer or dance group and create a Google Slides™ presentation using this Famous Dancer Biography Research Project resource.

After choosing a dancer, students will begin their research to answer a list of questions provided, such as At what age did the dancer begin to dance? They can use the Slides™ templates provided to create their biographies, as well as add images and a video. Once their presentations are complete, I like to have my students present their research to the class. It is a great opportunity for students to learn about influential dancers from around the world who specialize in different genres of dance, in both the past and the present.

This resource includes (in English):

• Instructions
• Questions to help guide research
• List of dancers
• Student sign-up sheets
• Presentation templates (i.e., childhood, accomplishments, personal life, rise to fame, interesting facts, etc.)
• Rubric

This is a great resource for Dance teachers to use for in-person, online, or hybrid learning! Text boxes have already been added to each slide for your students to type directly on.
