Project: Biographies of Peace Prize Winners A biography is the story of a life.  Biographies can be just a few sentences long, or they can fill an entire book - or two.  Some biographies include basic facts of someone's life and importance, and sometimes a little more detail is added to tell a good story.  Biographies can also analyze and interpret the events in a person's life, and they can present information about the significance of the person's accomplishments or life activities. The 9-4 and 9-5 Language Arts students at Birchwood Intermediate School were each paired with the name of a Nobel Peace Prize recipient.  Each student conducted research and gathered information from the Internet and the Birchwood Library Resource Center to learn about their Nobel Peace Prize recipient.  Each student wrote a brief biography about that person or organization.  Students also conducted an Internet search to locate other Internet sites that provided additional information about their recipient. Students were taught the 5 basic components of HTML writing, and were taught how to create web pages using an HTML editor.  This site "Peace Project: Biographies of Peace Prize Winners" is the result of their work.   The collage above "Peace: It's In Our Hands" features pictures of 9-4 and 9-5 Language Arts students and their "Peace Partners".
