Images of Greatness | Modern & Historical Figures Project Board

Bring history and inspiration to life with this engaging, hands-on project! Students choose a modern or historical figure they believe has achieved greatness, then design a Project Board that showcases their research, creativity, and presentation skills.

In this activity, students:

• Research the life, achievements, and impact of their chosen figure.
• Design a visually engaging Project Board to teach others about their subject.
• Present their work on Presentation Day, dressing in clothing that reflects their figure’s occupation or passion.
• Create an immersive display by setting up their table with props, images, and items connected to their figure’s life.

Perfect for cross-curricular learning, this project blends history, literacy, art, and public speaking. Students will develop research skills, practise creative design, and build confidence in front of an audience.

What’s included:

• Student instructions and task outline
• Presentation Day expectations
• Research prompts and tips
• Assessment Rubric

Suitable for upper primary to middle school students, this flexible resource can be adapted for history, social studies, biography units, or even themed school events.
