Biography Activity or a Bluebonnet Book Review

Use the Trading Card image generator (from Big Huge Labs) as an end product.

This is a sample created from reading the Bluebonnet title Marvelous Mattie by McCully from the 2008-2009 list.

There was no photograph available of Margaret E. Knight, the inventor, but this photograph of her bag folding machine came from the Smithsonian files of inventions.

Some of the facts came from the Bluebonnet book, the online Britannica's Guide to Women's History , and ask.com
