Using the information you learned while reading your biography, you are going to give a speech to teach others about your person. Use your biography notecatcher as a guide to the main topics of your speech. That means you should include information about the person’s childhood, schooling, hobbies, jobs, major accomplishments, roadblocks, and legacy.
-Your speech should be 3-5 minutes long
-You should dress up as your person and pretend that you are the famous person
-You may use notecards or paper to read off of during your speech
Be sure to practice your speech so you are comfortable reading it in a clear voice!
Speeches will be presented on Thursday, February 16 and Friday, February 17.
In addition to the speech, you also need to create a timeline of your person’s life. Your timeline should include important dates and events (birthday, major accomplishments, etc). Your timeline should be illustrated…draw a picture to show each event on it.
