Combining our opinion writing unit and study of informational
text: autobiographies and biographies, 4th grade students participated in the Biography Stamp Project. Each
student researched a person of their choice using books and technology with a
focus on learning about their individuals' accomplishments, challenges, and
inspiring personality traits. They then wrote 5 paragraph essays/letters to The
Stamp Advisory Committee of the U.S. Postal Service recommending that their
person be featured on a postage stamp. They also designed stamps to
represent their subject. All of their hard work was displayed at a Living
Museum for the third graders, where students dressed as their person of choice
and gave short oral presentations.
