Students will be exploring heroes of our past was well as modern day heroes. In groups, students will choose famous people they are interested in learning about, conduct research, and present their findings to the class. As the individual portion of this project, students will be focusing on a person of their choice and create a first person biography presentation (in costume) that highlights important and interesting information about that person.
Accademic Rigor: Students will be learning how to read non-fiction text and how to summarize the information they learned into their own words.The reading materials will be at a variety of levels, so each child will be challenged.

Autonomy: Students have the freedom to choose any person from history they would like to research, choose the final product during group work, as well as chose their groups for working on daily work.
