Enrichment Opportunity

Enrichment Opportunity – Biography Book Report       

To earn up to 10 bonus points, turn in a video of yourself taking on the role of the person you read about in your biography.

1      In the video you must:

·         Dress like the person you read about.  Use details and graphic aids from the biography to determine what the person would look like.

2        In the video, choose one or any combination of the following:

o   Act out scenes from a day in the life of the person you read about, adding commentary when necessary.

o   Give a speech from the perspective of the person you read about that reflects either what the person accomplished, what is important to the person, or what message you think the person would like to send to society based on the details you read in the biography.

o   Participate in an interview, playing the role of the person you read about and answering the questions the way you think the person would have answered based on what you read.

o   Create a mini documentary about the person that highlights the most important moments in the person’s life based on what you read in the biography.  You play the role of the person you read about.

*IMPORTANT:  If you read about a person that is notorious, or well-known for a negative reason, your options for the video are more limited, and you must discuss it with me first.

There are not length requirements, but a suggested time would be 3-5 minutes.  To turn in this enrichment project, you must put it on a disk or upload it to SchoolTube and provide me with the link.

The project is due when you return from holiday break on Wednesday, January 2^nd 2013.

I am so excited to see your videos!  Remember, I expect great things from you!
