History:

Bio Book

 

Today's Snack: Since a lot of the interesting people are heroes, let's have a hero sandwich! Slice a bun in half and load it up with meats, cheese, a lettuce leaf, sliced tomato, and whatever else you can cram in there. Then eat, with a nice glass of milk, which you can use to make yourself a heroic-looking milk moustache!

Supplies:

Position the bio form, below, to print out on one page

Make as many copies as you wish

 

 

A great way to learn history is to learn about it through the people who lived it. So let's collect biographies — facts about interesting and important people.

 

Print out and/or photocopy this blank information form as many times as you wish. Staple the pages into book form, 3-hole punch them and place them in a three-ring binder, or tape them to a notebook you already have.

 

Make categories: military, medical, writer, artist, educator, scientist, explorer, inventor, religious hero, beauty, intelligence, kindness, service to the poor . . . the possibilities are endless. Make sure you have at least one person for each of your categories, and shoot for three or four!
