Do you teach about biographies?
Last week we used the anchor chart above to introduce what a biography is (…isn't George cute?) I saw him originally at Apples, Crayons, and Caffeine. We brainstormed the things we thought a biography is, what's included, and the questions it might answer.
We read about Tomás Rivera in our reading series and also did a mini-unit on biographies and autobiographies.
I created a small, but substantial pack to go along with it. My students wrote biographies about famous people, as well as interviewed each other and wrote a biography of a friend. They even wrote an autobiography later in the week!
If you click "preview" under the photos {here} you can get this freebie:
I also listed my "Just Add Dice Bundle" for a super low price! I am planning on adding the Valentine's Day pack to it later today. Buy it super low now and as I add packs to it, you have no additional cost! Wow!!
Enjoy your Sunday!!
I will be teaching biographies later in the school year. I love that your pack includes interviewing and writing biographies about a friend/classmate. Thanks for the chance to win it :)
