How Do You Bring A Rock to Life?

In our language arts class, we have read various biographies such as,

                                 Abraham Lincoln 
Scholastic Book Series
Scholastic Easy Reader Biographies 

                          and George Washington

                                                    Scholastic Easy Reader Biographies


After sharing several mentor texts and completing "noticings charts" in class, each student researched a  historically significant person using the biography poster as a template and guide. 

     
Instant Personal Poster Sets: Biography Report     
                Instant Biography Poster 



In science, we have been learning about the three types of rocks: Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic.

 What would happen if we combine the two? Biographies and Rocks?


A Rock Bio.... 

Students researched the rock type and created a biography based on the type of rock

  1. The biography poster reports are awesome! And what a cool way to tie biographies into science - I would have never thought of this... :) I can't wait to see more of what's going on in your classroom!
