Who Was/Is Biography Presentations

A biography presentation about historical people is a project where students research and share information about a significant person from history. It typically includes key details about the persons life, achievements, and impact on the world.

This beloved 3rd grade project tradition once again was a hit with the parents, fellow students and teachers who came to listen and view our “living museum” of historic humans.
