Learning about historical figures can be fun!
Use any of these activities to help incorporate a
Who Was book into your classroom or library.
• As students read about their subject, ask them to keep a timeline of that person’s life. When
was that person born? When did he/she die? Did he/she ever marry? If he/she were a political
figure, how long was his/her period of power?
• Ask students to draw a map of their subject’s travels. They can trace an explorer’s path or
outline the borders of ruler’s empire. If their person did not travel much, encourage them to
sketch a picture of that person’s home or town.
• Each of the Who Was? covers is a caricature of the biography’s subject. After defining ‘caricature,’
ask students to draw or paint a caricature of someone they think is important,
whether it is a family member or a current celebrity.
• Why did each student pick their specific historical figure? For an essay topic, encourage students
to write about the traits they most admire in their subject. What traits do they think
they share with their person?
• At the end of the biography unit, encourage students to dress as their historical subject and
deliver a 1-3 minute speech in the manner or character of that person.
