My Research Project - Pennant Banner
A pennant banner template for students to record biography research.
Research projects can be quite daunting for students. Use this fun pennant banner template for your students to display specific information about their biography subject.
This template includes the following information:
- Born
- Died
- Greatest Achievement
- Three Important Facts
- Famous Quote
- A space for a portrait.
Display the pennant banners in your classroom or on a bulletin board using a piece of twine.
This is a great resource to use when celebrating MLK Day, during Black History Month, or around Presidents’ Day. Have your students research historical figures such as MLK, Maya Angelou, Shirley Chisholm, Jesse Owens, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and others who have impacted our nation in a great way!
