MARCH BOOK CLUB

For our March Book Club you are to pick a biography on a person of your choice. A biography is a true, written history of a persons life. You only need to read one biography for this Book Club. You will give an oral presentation to the class and will complete the Book Report form (attached).

For your oral presentation, you will pretend to be the person you read about. You may come dressed as the person and may bring in symbols that represent the persons life. The actual presentation format is up to you! You will only have 3 - 5 minutes for your presentation.

You may use books from our classroom, the Corpus Christi Library or your local public library.

HAVE FUN!!!
