Ideas:

Research Arthur Szyk and then write a Bio Poem about him. Then look at the 3 examples of his art to explore this amazing talented man.

I am including two templates for Bio Poems. The first one allows a student to take notes about a person and then use that information to create a poem. The 2nd template is another example of a poem format using the information collected about your person.
