I've successfully used Item 45, Bio Poem, in my French classes.\u00a0 In my case, I used this idea for the students to practice using newly learned French vocabulary by describing themselves, but it can certainly be used to as a formative assessment check to make sure the students understand literary characters or historical figures.\u00a0 For those unfamiliar with the Bio Poem, here are the items to include:<\/p>\n
Line 1:\u00a0 First Name<\/p>\n
Line 2: 3-4 adjectives that describe the person<\/p>\n
Line 3:\u00a0 An important relationship<\/p>\n
Line 4: 2-3 things, people or ideas that the person loved<\/p>\n
Line 5: 3 feelings the person experienced<\/p>\n
Line 6: 3 fears the person experienced<\/p>\n
Line 7:\u00a0 Accomplishments<\/p>\n
Line 8: 2-3 things the person experienced or wanted to see happen<\/p>\n
Line 9:\u00a0 Person's place of residence<\/p>\n
Line 10:\u00a0 Last name<\/p>\n
Let's be creative ourselves!\u00a0 Complete this bio poem about yourself or a literary or historical figures and share with us in a post!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
