Living History


I had a wonderful time listening to the fourth graders give their Living History speeches! As I was listening, my brain was surfing for new learning and fun facts. Also, I noticed that many of the famous people featured demonstrated many of the stances such as flexibility, persistence, empathy, resilience, and optimism that lead to their successes.

Please share your new learning, fun facts and/or thoughts about the important mindset stances of these famous people. Please write four to five complete sentences using correct capitalization and punctuation.

  4. My favorite person was Wilma Rudolph. She was an olympic track runner. When she was 11 she started playing basketball. She was diagnosed with brain cancer. When she was young she had polio and had to wear a brace on her left leg. She overcame her disability to compete in the olympics and win gold medals (even though she sprained her ankle during the olympics). She must have been really flexible, resilient and persistent. ⛹🏼‍♀️

  9. I loved all the people in living history but my favorite historical person was Sylvia Earle. She was born 1935. At age 17 she graduated high school and started scuba diving. One of her favorite expeditions was when she went in a under water chamber 50 feet under the water and stayed there for two whole weeks! One last fact is that she was one of the first woman to scuba dive. I loved living history.
