Animated Biographies: Stories of People Who Changed the World

Our second grade students wanted to take their writing to the next level! This activity brought biographies to life by illustrating the stories of different individuals through engaging line-draw animation in Keynote. Each animated biography highlighted the achievements and journeys of remarkable people, making history fun and accessible for elementary students.

This is very cool, Carrie! A really fun way to get students telling stories, drawing, learning digital skills, and — probably most importantly — encouraging them to use their voice by adding the narration!

Great job! 👏
