Your speech needs to be written in the 1st
person.
“I am called Wild Bill although my real name
is….”
·
Tell us when you were born.
·
Tell us about your family and where you lived in
Illinois.
·
Explain why you are famous and still studied today.
·
What are at least two interesting things about you?
·
When, where and how did you die?
·
Where could the listener go to find out more about
your life?
Encyclopedia? Internet?
The
talk needs to be in “time order”.
For instance, the last thing I should know is where
you died.
Add
personality to your speech!
Similes and metaphors help that out!
Have
fun becoming your famous Illinois person!

Do not
make them this year! We are making crosses in
class.
1. It
must be sturdy enough to stand alone in the wind and in
the hall before the cemetery walk. (Hint, one that was
very sturdy was made from Styrofoam and glued to a wooden
base.)
2. It
needs to be at least two feet tall.
3.
There are no restrictions on what you use. Styrofoam,
cardboard, wood, paints, etc.

Neatness will be part of the grade. Your child should show
that effort was put into it.

date of birth and date of death.
