//A brief snapshot, as if// //someone asked you to// //briefly and clearly// //describe the intent of the// //lesson or project.// ||  ||   ||< During first and second quarter in 3rd grade, students explore different genres of literature, including biographies. The overall assignment in the past has been for each student to choose a person and complete a Biography Book Report. One component of the report is for the students to come to school dressed as their selected person and give a speech to the class in first person. During computers, they also create a newsletter related to their person in Microsoft Word. The addition to this project will be to create a digital timeline in iMovie using still images and voice over. The students will need to also identify the most important contribution that their person made to our life today and end their timeline referring back to the contribution. The unit will end with students sharing their timelines for the class and discussing the major contributions and impacts that their people made to our lives today. || //What will guide student// //inquiry?// ||  ||   ||< How have people in the past contributed to our lives today?
