Biographies/Writing/Technology

In reading we have been studying biographies.  Your child has chosen an Important American to research.  He/she will then write an opinion piece on why that person is important in the world.  We have worked really hard in writing workshop to master the writing structure for an opinion piece of writing.  It is so exciting to have it all come together!  In reading groups this week students have used different apps on the ipads to illustrate their Important American and the impact they had on the world.  Here are a few examples:

Martin Luther King Jr.

Rosa Parks
