DATE DUE 2/13/12

Pay close attention to what you learn about the subject of the biography, because you are going to pretend to be that person when you present your report to the class. You will need to have some sort of costume that represents the person in your book.

In addition to the costume you will need to write 10 facts/achievements about that person. You will do this without giving away his/her name, because based on your costume and information, the class is going to try to guess who you are. Please write your 10 facts/achievements on the attached sheet. Write in COMPLETE SENTENCES and please use CURSIVE and BLACK ERASABLE PEN while completing this fact sheet.
