Ideas For Use:

There are numerous ways to incorporate these biography summaries into your curriculum.

  • Individual - Assign the biography you are studying in class. Have each person research and complete individually for class homework.
  • History Museum - With the biography bundles, such as this bundle, assign each student one of the included historical figures. After completion, have each student post their completed biographies on the classroom wall like a museum for all to see. Then, print off the included “gallery-walk” reflection template. Students will complete the “gallery walk” template by reading the other completed, posted biographies. This option allows students to learn even more historical biographies.
  • Presentations - Have students work individually or as partners then present the completed digital file as a presentation for all students to see and hear. Classmates can complete the gallery walk worksheet as a summary while they actively listen.
  • Sub Plans - This resource is such an excellent activity for that day when you can’t be in the classroom. Your sub will appreciate this content-rich resource.
