Dear Parents,

Who can dispute the value of a good story? Though students may initially

view them as dull, biographies are the “stuff” that great classroom activities

are made of -- history, honesty, and heroism.

Our social studies curriculum covers the early colonial period through the

Revolutionary War. We have compiled a list of individuals, from our fifth

grade curriculum, which students may choose from. Each student will select

a person from this list to study and write about. During the next few weeks

in class, the students will work on writing a biography.

and mannerisms. Students will pose as these heroes, in absolute silence, for

the Alexander Dawson community to see. It will be something you will never

forget!

After our classroom discussion, your child has selected________________

to research and portray in our Wax Museum. If you need any assistance in

planning a costume, please let us know.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,
