Biography Bottles

Benjamin has been very busy working on his Biography Bottle for his 4th grade class. Each student chose a famous person, of Texas decent, and a wrote a 2-page summary. They then made a 2-litre bottle image of their Famous Texan and prepared and presented an oral report for the class. Ben chose Howard Hughes.

Howard Hughes was big into airplanes and Hollywood. His incredible wealth came from his father, and Howard did his best to manage it all! One of his tactics was to live in motels and hotels. He lived in Beverly Hills, Boston, Vegas and many others. He would only stay in one state for 5 1/2 months, then move. It was a law that if you stayed in a state for 6 months or more, you would have to pay income taxes.

Ben prepared the bottle, complete with brown pipe-cleaner hair. He also fashioned a leopard-skin tie and a million dollar bill in his upper chest pocket. Nice job Ben!
