These writing activities are purposeful but fun. Students will find that completing all of them is challenging but rewarding. Some teachers stretch the challenge to 60 days, giving students two days to complete each activity.

Famous Entertainers Research Activities for Brad Meltzer "I AM" Biography Series
By Kirsten's Kaboodle
Brad Meltzer has created an incredible series of "I am" biography books for young people. This bundled product includes 3 individual literature companions for his series titled Ordinary People Change the World. These literature companions are the perfect way to provide literature skills, research, and teach growth mindset all in one day. By using this famous entertainers bundle your students can learn about famous entertainers and complete research activities in a fun and engaging way.
Due to the importance of the messages embedded in these stories, I've created these activities for 2nd-4th graders (as opposed to early primary grades). These "I am" biography books provide a fabulous segue for discussions about how ordinary people can change the world. With a growth mindset component in each product, your students can also have discussions about how these influential people exhibited a growth mindset. In addition, these books also provide a perfect platform for reviewing grade level language arts skills.
Please click on the individual products below to see a detailed list of what is included in each unit. Each product does contain a biographical sketch, comprehension questions, skills practice pages, writing prompts, and an additional (and unique) fun activity or craft that coincides with the book.
In this Brad Meltzer literature companion famous entertainers bundle, you will find the following:
I AM LUCILLE BALL BY BRAD MELTZER
I AM JIM HENSON BY BRAD MELTZER
I AM WALT DISNEY BY BRAD MELTZER
I AM OPRAH WINFREY BY BRAD MELTZER
I AM DOLLY PARTON BY BRAD MELTZER
I AM MISTER ROGERS
Here is a list of the Literature Units available in the "I AM" biography series by Brad Meltzer!
Many of these books brought tears to my eyes on one page and had me laughing on the next page. If you are debating about purchasing this set of books for your classroom, I can assure that you won't be disappointed. They quickly found a front row spot in my classroom (and my own children adore them as well)!
