Grade 4 Biography Projects Get a #Reboot
Students in Mrs. Cronin's class have been reading biographies. In order to show what they know, they have decided to create F-Instagram (fake Instagram) accounts for their chosen person of study. Students read about and researched information on their subject and then, using Google Slides, Britannica Online and the app, Drawing Pad, built a F-Instagram account complete with images, information, an artist's rendition caricature and even hashtags.
Check out their caricatures and F-Instas to see what's #trending!
