Do your students struggle to find information on famous historical figures? Do you have technology in your classroom that could help, but aren’t sure how to get all of your students to access the websites they need?
These QR Codes for Biography Research Reports are just what you need. Each historical figure has a page with QR codes for both websites and videos that students can use to access additional information beyond a textbook or book.
The website QR Codes mainly lead students to these websites: Duckster, Mr. Nussbaum,Biography.com. In a few instances, information was not available on those sites, so students are directed toward other child-friendly websites.
The videos’ QR Codes are mainly from Biography.com and Youtube. Youtube videos are routed through Safeshare. Unfortunately, some of the Biography.com videos are not available on YouTube so they cannot be put through Safeshare. The Biography.com videos do contain advertisements.
Do you need additional Women Leaders? 22 Additional Women Leaders are also available.
Biographical Figures include:
Political Leaders: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln
Woman Leaders: Helen Keller, Susan B. Anthony, Betsy Ross, Amelia Earhart, Bessie Coleman, Sally Ride, Clara Barton, Harriet Tubman
African American Leaders: Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Thurgood Marshall, Booker T. Washington, Frederick Douglas, Ruby Bridges, Sojourner Truth
Inventors & Scientists: Alexander Graham Bell, Garrett Morgan, Thomas Edison, George Washington Carver, Benjamin Franklin, The Wright Brothers
Athletes: Jackie Robinson, Jesse Owens
If you would like addition biographical figures or different websites and videos, please let me know via email. I’m happy to add to the packet or switch out websites and videos for better versions. If you find that any links no longer work, please, also let me know via email.
