What is a Bio Bottle?



Biography Bottles are 2 or 3 bottles, emptied and cleaned.
They are decorated like a Kentuckian, either past or present, which students pick
independently. Some famous pioneer maybe? Famous sports star? Actor? Politician?
Use your imagination for decoration!
Students will:

Pick a Kentuckian & get Mrs. Stomberg’s approval by TUES., JANUARY 31.
Research using a computer or encyclopedia to find interesting and exciting
information about the Kentuckian.
After researching and taking notes, students should write a paragraph about this
famous Kentuckian.
The paragraph should contain complete sentences, be neatly written with correct
punctuation, spelling, and capitalization, and should contain correct and interesting
facts about the Kentuckian.
This may be either hand written or typed. Have two copies of your paragraph. If
you hand write your paragraph & don’t have access to a copier, bring it to school
before the due date and Mrs.Stomberg will make a copy for you.
Glue one of the paragraphs to the center of the of the 2 or 3 liter bottle as shown
in the illustration. (The second copy of your paragraph will be given to the
teacher on the day of your presentation.)
Next use art materials to create a head & face to attach to the top of the bottle.
Yarn, fabric, etc. may be used to add details to this.
When is this due?
Projects are due Tuesday, February 28. We will share these on that day so that our
classmates will find out exciting information about a variety of famous Kentuckians! This
project will count as 40% of the social studies grade for the next report card.
How will this be graded?
A:
One or more paragraphs written about the famous American using complete &
accurate sentences, very neatly written/typed. Art work shows detail, planning &
organization, effort, & is neatly done. Very “eye catching”. Art closely resembles the
person the biography is written about.
B:
One paragraph that is neatly written but lacks complete and/or accurate sentences
or is “choppy” & contains less information than it should. Art work either is neatly done &
shows planning & details or shows lack of attention to details and is not neatly done.
C:
Project lacks the “polish” of an A or B project. Lack of planning & detail is evident.
Looks quickly put together.
