Hi, I am studying Victoria Woodhull. She was the first woman to run for President. Something most people don’t know about her is she had pshycic powers. Molly
Amelia Earhart had a ticker tape parade given in her honor!
My biography is about Meriwether Lewis, who explored the west. Did you know his mom was his fathers cousin?
HI… My person is Rachel Carson. Did you know that she helped stop DDT.
I’m doing Joe DiMaggio. He was a famous baseball player in the 40’s.
I am doing William CLark and he was a military officer.
I’m doing Monica Seles, she was a famous tennis player that became number one in women’s professional tennis at age seventeen.
Hi. I am researching Theodore Roosevelt our 26th president. An interesting fact is that the Teddy bear was named after him. He served for two terms and almost everybody loved him.
I’m doing Annie Oakley and she was a sharpshooter. Did you know she was 1 of 9 kids, 2 of which died in infancy? I really loved researching her. She was in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show until the train car crashed.
My “Outstanding American” is Thomas Edison. Did anyone know that Edison’s first patent was the electric vote recorder??? His first artificial moneymaker was the stock ticker system. He earned $40,000 on it!!! I have really enjoyed researching and learning about him and will be very sad when the oral presentation is over.
Hi, everybody! It’s James again. I have just returned from more research about Thomas Edison. He and the famous car producer HENRY FORD became very good friends when Edison recommends using a certain kind of engine on his Fords. When Edison recreated the discovery of the light bulb at it’s 50th anniversary party, Ford and another friend of Edison’s were watching closely. Isn’t that a little weird? A scientist being good friends with an automaker? Just thought I’d mention it!
I’m Wilbur Wright, and he was one out of eleven! Did you know that he also never lived in Kitty Hawk? He just went there for about ten months to test the airplanes/gliders.
I’m researching John Muir, the founder of the Sierra Club. He walked 1000 miles from Wisconsin to Florida, then to California for 2 years in the 1800’s.
Hi. I’m going to be Laura Ingalls Wilder. She was born on Febuary 7, 1867 in Pepin, Wisconsin also known as the Big Woods. She had an older sister named Mary, a younger sister named Carrie, a younger brother named Freddie (he died at 9 months), and another younger sister named Grace.
She died at age 90 on Febuary 10, 1957. Her fans from her series the “Little House” missed her very much after her death.
Did you know that she first taught school when she was 15 and she married when she was 18? That wasn’t considered too young at that time, but here we would just be starting college!
My person is Buffalo Bill. He worked with the wonderful, Annie Oakley in his Wild West Show.
My biography is on Abraham Lincoln. Do you know why he grew his beard? It is because his friend took his razor.
I was Betsy Ross. Did you know she was married 3 times and all her husbands died because of the war or an illness. The longest marriage for her was 34 years. She was the same religion as Annie Oakley, a Quaker.
I am researching Sacagawea. Her name can be spelled three different ways– Sakakawea, Sacajawea or Sacagawea.
I’m the Wright Brothers, actually Orville Wright. I was happy when I finished. They were fun [like when I made my mustashe]. But I’m glad to be done.
I am Andrew Jackson.
Did you know:
I was the first President to be born in a log cabin.
My temper rose often at things even I could have said.
I’m Brooke and my “outstanding American” is Benjamin Franklin. He was one of my favorite in history besides Thomas Edison and Thomas Jefferson. Ben had 16 brothers and sisters! Can you imagine! Ben’s family was too poor to let him go to school for more than one year. That’s only some of the things I know about Benjamin Franklin.
Did you know Abe Lincoln wore a tall hat so he could keep his paper in there. If you dont believe me check it out.
My person Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest president ever put into presidency because of the assassination of president William McKinley. When Theodore was put into presidency, he was 42 years old. He was an amazing person!
Hey, Yo. Jack again. Now, we’re making tall-tales on our person. In mine, Joe helps the aging population of FL.
