Silhouette portraits have helped us remember those who have lived long ago. After reading aloud the vignette, ask students to think about why George Washington s granddaughter made a silhouette portrait of her grandfather. The discussion will certainly touch on having something to remember him by. Ask students to think about a favorite family member, friend, or pet that they would like to always remember. Suggest that they make a silhouette portrait.
Students can practice making portraits in class.
Students can even make albums containing portraits of several persons. For each portrait, students can write biographical information and a story about the person or pet. All Rights Reserved .
