Greetings 8th Grade Families!

This week students will be creating their biography bottle characters. Student will be taking their 2-liter bottle and using their research, creating a likeness of the person they researched. We will start with attaching the Styrofoam ball as the head. Students will then paint the head and add hair, eyes and face. Student will then use felt, fabric, buttons, etc. to create the body and clothes for their character. Ultimately, students will need to determine what chess piece their character would be based on what they did before, during and/or after the Civil War. We will use these Bottle Characters to battle each other in a game of chess on a 6' x 12' chess board painted like the North and South during the Civil War.

Please email with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Mr. Rowan
