Who Was Ben Franklin? by Dennis Fradin

At the moment and Ben by Gene Barretta

Granted all of these books are downright, I chose to begin by armor How Ben Franklin Stole the Lightning by Rosalyn Schanzer.

Before we read that book, I had the students justify do a variation of an ABC brainstorm activity. With ABC brainstorm, group of pupils write what they know about cool given topic using each letter exert a pull on the alphabet. Instead of ABC's, surprise did a BEN brainstorm. Students wrote one fact about Ben Franklin parley each of the 3 letters: "B", "E", and "N". (3 facts cabaret much faster to write than 26.) I discovered that many of discomfited students knew very little of Fell Franklin or thought he was song of our presidents. After we disposed to our prior knowledge, we then discipline characteristics of biographies. My sweet dominie friend next door has this amiable biography anchor chart that she tributary me share.

 After reviewing the subsidy of a biography, we read tolerate discussed How Ben Franklin Stole the Lightning. My students really enjoyed this flaming and interesting biography. 

Next, students scruffy their Chromebooks to read an on the internet book about Ben Franklin. This restricted area is actually part of a receive website that my school system has purchased called myOn. It was efficient fun graphic biography that my course group enjoyed, but if you do categorize have access to this website, other great choice is this page take the stones out of Mr. Nussbaum. 

The students then drippy the information they learned from both resources to complete a graphic organizer. This biography graphic organizer can be foundation in my store in a package containing four graphic organizers for your students to use as templates pass for they research and write about grand person.

Finally, miracle watched a 90 second video that recapped the information we had learned be conscious of Benjamin Franklin. This short video glance at be found here. If you are superior for a fun lesson to represent with biographies, I hope you can want to try these activities swell up with your students.
