    Pizza Box Biography Book Report

    For the third book report, each student will read a biographya nonfiction book written
    about someones life. They will then turn a pizza box into their report about the person
    they chose. There are multiple steps to this book report so please follow the outline
    below carefully.
    1. CHOOSING A PERSON/BOOK: Students will choose a famous person to read about
    from the list on the back of this page. Only one child will be reading about each
    person so signing up is on a first come, first serve basis. Students must have the
    book when they sign up for their person so that I can approve it. They may not sign
    up if they dont have the book. I recommend helping your child choose a second
    choice in case their first choice is already filled. Students must choose a person and
    bring in the book they are going to read by Thursday, March 16th. Not doing so by
    this date will result in your child losing 2 points.
    2. MAKING THE PIZZA BOX BIOGRAPHY: There are three main parts to the
    biographythe outside top, the inside top, and the actual pizza.
    a. Outside Top: Here, you will introduce the person of your biography. This is the
    place that you can get the most creative with a fun title and slogan, unique
    lettering, illustrations, photos, etc. Be creative and try a catchy title.
    b. Inside Top: Decorate the inside top of the box with some kind of decoration
    that has to do with the person the student is reading about. This could include
    (but not limited to) pictures, drawings, small 3D figures taped/glued to the box.
    Include a large illustration of the person, the year they were born, and the year
    they died. Example: The inside, top cover of Walt Disney's biography box could
    be decorated with Mickey Mouse wrapping paper with a drawing of Walt Disney
    on white paper in the middle.
    c. The Pizza: Now to the real meat of the book report! This is where you write the
    actual report about your person you have read about. Each piece of pizza is a
    slice of your famous persons life. You can make each slice out of paper,
    cardstock, cardboard, or whatever you see fit. You will write one the following 8
    topics along the crust of each slice of pizza (so you will need 8 slices). On each
    slice, you must write at least 2 complete sentences related to the topic. You
    may decorate your slices to look like pizza, but make sure your writing is neat
    and easy to read. These are the topics to use on your slices:
    1. Childhood (where the person was born or grew up)
    2. Education (What schools did the person attend?)
    3. Adult Life (What job did he/she have? Where did he/she live? etc.)
    4. Accomplishments (What made this person famous?)
    5. Influence (How has this person affected/helped others?)
    6. Qualities (What kinds of characteristics does this person have? What
    do you admire about them?)
    7. Fun Facts (List some interesting facts about your person.)
    8. Bibliography (List the title and author of the book you used.)
    3. PRESENTING THE BIOGRAPHY: Each student will use their pizza to present their
    biography to the class. This will only be about a 1-2 minute presentation where you
    will show the class the book you read and your Pizza Box and tell about the person.
    Information you must include in your presentation are the name of the person, when
    they were born/died, why they are famous, and at least 1 fun fact.
    The Pizza Box must be completed and turned in by Thursday,
    April 13th. Students will be presenting this day, as well. No late
    book reports are accepted.
