Biography Project Ideas


Biography anchor chart. Students look for characteristics of biographies while you read a mentor text.

Black History Month and Presidents' Day Biography Reports. February is a month filled with opportunities to both educate and celebrate. It’s also the perfect opportunity for teaching my 3rd graders how to research, take notes, and write a short report on the life and accomplishments of someone who has made a positive difference in the world.
Biography Bottle Book Report Projects: Using a large recycled water or soda bottle, have your students create projects based on the famous person that they read about. These three bottles are: Amelia Earhart, Cleopatra, and Marco Polo. Fun and creative!
Water Bottle Bios
Biography Bottles. Use a water bottle or a two liter soda bottle. Great idea for historical figures or book characters.  Biography Bottles! Simply have students fill an empty 2-liter bottle with either small rocks or sand. Then, have them choose a famous person to create using the bottle!! Super cute + super creative = SuCcESS in a Bottle!Biography Project: 2-liter bottle person "museum". Thought: Could be a good collaboration project between reading teacher and art teacher.

BIOBOXZ~ Biography Book Report Project and Kit
Faith Siegrist
Historical Figure / Literary Character Facebook Project - kids create a Facebook page for a famous person (scientist, historian, author) or character in a book they've read. Comes with blank template, an example page, and directions... I'm thinking this is a great substitute activity!

Third Grade Pizza Box Biography Reading Response…Pinner wrote: I've used pizza boxes to make games before, but this is a terrific way to use them. If you go to your local pizza place you can often get them for free or for a very small price. When you say you are a teacher they usually sigh and just give them to you. : )
