Year 6 Research Project: Great Britons

Over the next few weeks we would like you to research the life of a famous Briton. This person, male or female, can be a famous actor, sportsperson, politician or from any other part of public life. The only rules are that the person must be famous and (obviously) they must be British!

In order to make sure that we do not have 60 projects on David Beckham, we also ask that you pick a Great Briton who has already died.

Famous Britons that children have previously researched include:

Winston Churchill, Queen Victoria, King Henry VIII, Florence Nightingale, Princess Diana – whoever you might find interesting. The more original the better!!

Use the Internet, library, encyclopaedias and any other sources that you feel are necessary.

You will need to cover questions such as: When was your Briton born?  Where did he / she live?   What made them famous ?  What influence did they have? What lasting effect have they left on the country?

You might want to include a front cover, introduction, contents page

pictures  and a  bibliography ( a list of the resources you used).

The project will be marked out of a maximum of 30 housepoints.

We will mark the following areas:

• Content ( facts and information)
• Research ( where you found your information and your use of bibliography)
• Standard of written English
• Presentation and organisation.

It can be typed or hand-written.

Please bring this into school on Wednesday January 6^th 2016
