First Grade Research 2006
Biographies of Famous People

Some may say that first graders are not ready for REAL research. These curious firsts spent 4 weeks of research learning about a famous person. Following the specific steps of IIM, they each discovered some unique facts about a a person they were curious about and created questions about his or her life. The end product was some carefully created posters.

The last step to IIM is presentation. Here are a few pictures of their poster sharing time. Classroom teachers and parents were invited.
