*One year we had the students do a monologue based on that person- they even
dressed up as that person.
*Another year we had them do illustrations depicting the highlights of that
person's life and displayed them as large books.
* If you have two people wanting to do the same person, how about an
interview type skit - one asking the questions and one relating the
answers - both would have to know the person to be able to come up with the
questions and answers.
*I had some do a Strip in a box - Draw a series of pictures with captions on
paper that will fit inside a shoe box; make holes in the top and bottom of
the box that accommodates the dowel and cut a large rectangle that will
allow you to see the pictures from the side of the box; connect the strips
and attach to pencils or slim dowels at each end, insert the dowels into the
bottom of the box, slip the top on and use the dowels to "move" the pictures
past the rectangle. We covered the outside of the box with wrapping paper
to make it nicer looking. The box can be used for other projects( tall
tales, book reports, etc.)

Subject: TARGET: Creative biography reports
Greetings!
Our eighth grade social studies teacher approached me today and wanted to
know if I had any ideas for a creative assignment using biographies. She
would like each student to read a biography and somehow convey what they've
learned about their chosen person. However, she wants it to be more than
just a summarization of facts about someone's life. If you have any ideas
for such an assignment, please reply to me.
