This biography research project is one of my most creative Hispanic Heritage Month activities for middle school and high school students to learn about influential individuals during Hispanic Heritage Month. The completed projects can serve as an informative tool and as purposeful classroom decor when you display the biography stamps throughout your classroom.
Take back your time with this LOW PREP project, available in both PRINT and DIGITAL versions. The commemorative stamp project includes over 25 pages of instructional materials to guide teachers and students through this activity. Another BONUS for teachers: this product includes a detailed rubric, a list of suggested Hispanic and LatinX individuals, strong teacher models, and a list of suggested websites students can use for research.
