We had so much fun writing this and coloring the pictures. They looked so lovely hanging in the hallway and required almost no prep from me.

My students loved this experience and learning about something they have heard of but knew little about. They were very interested to learn more and after this activity we created posters to display around our rooms. It also lead my students to want to create posters about themselves and teach people what they learned about themselves. Thank you for this great product!
