Introduction to Biographies

A biography is an account of someone’s life that is told by someone else. It can be about a famous person or about an ordinary person who has done interesting things. Biographies usually center around a person’s life and positive ways that they have contributed to the world. They are a great way for kids to learn about elements of nonfiction, organization, research, and expository writing. It is also fun to learn about someone who has made a difference! The following activities will provide students with many different ways to organize information and show what they have learned.

Student Activities for Biographies

Essential Questions for Biographies

• Where and when was this person born?
• What was this person’s childhood like?
• What kind of education did this person have?
• What is/was this person’s family life like?
• What are/were this person’s accomplishments?
• What positive contributions has this person made to the world?
• Why did I choose this person?

Why Create Biographies?

When someone has a biography written about them, it is because they have done something in their life that others consider to be quite important--important enough to learn and write about! Usually the person has done something positive and admirable and is an inspiration to others.

In order to create a biography, students will learn about the person’s early life, childhood, education, family, and accomplishments. It is also important for the student to be able to express why they chose this person, and the impact this person has made on the world or the student’s life in particular. For example, students can ask: what can I learn from this person? What mistakes has this person made that I can relate to and grow from? How has this person inspired me?

When reading about and researching a person, students will encounter at least one theme, or recurring main idea, in a biography. The following is a list of potential themes:

• Sometimes life is tough and it takes strength to keep going.
• Believe in yourself and others will believe in you.
• No matter how many times you fail, never give up.
• The most difficult times in life can inspire others.
• Always have hope and stay positive.
• Know your worth: don’t let anyone drag you down.

Students should pay attention to what they think the theme is and be able to explain how they can learn from the person they are researching. Themes also make it much easier for students to present their chosen person's life as a narrative rather than a collection of facts.

Along with being able to identify the theme, there are certain elements of the biography genre that always need to be included in research if the information can be found. These elements are:

• Date and place of birth (and death, if applicable)
• Educational background
• Family life, either past, current, or both
• Adult life: job and current location, if applicable
• Major accomplishments

Other information like fun facts, quotes by or about the person, and photographs may also be included in the biography.

While researching an influential person , students will learn not only about the individual, but about many ways one person can change or contribute to the world. Learning about others helps us find the positive power within ourselves, and motivates us to be the best people that we can be. It is important for the student to fully be interested in learning about the person, so it is best if students choose on their own. Teachers may want to provide a list to help narrow down the choices by focusing on categories such as sports figures, entertainers, inventors, political figures, historical figures, change-makers, or someone the student knows personally. This way, they can make the biographies relevant to the unit they're teaching or the time of year!

How To Teach Biographies in an Elementary School

Explore life events in the story.

Start by talking about the key life events in the biography with students. Consider birth date, family life, education, jobs, and personal events. Guide students through the key life events in chronological order.

Talk About Themes

After they understand the event’s in a person’s life, you can lead them to discuss themes, or what they learn about life from the biographical story. Common themes include making a difference, overcoming obstacles, and always have hope.

Connect to Student's Life

Have students use a Venn Diagram to connect with the person in the biography. They can share things they have in common in the middle of the circles, and things that are different about each of them on the outside.

Draw it Out

Let students draw a body biography in order to understand the person more fully. Have them fill in body parts, such as putting what the character loves in the heart area, and drawing what the person thinks about up in the head.

Frequently Asked Questions about Biographies

How do biographies help students understand how individual people relate to the world around them.

When we read a story about how one person lived their life, we can better understand the power within ourselves and see how our lives matter. Every person influences the world around them.

What are some common themes that run through biographies?

Many biographies teach lessons such as how to overcome obstacles, believing in yourself, and making the most of what you have.

What universal elements are found in almost all biographies?

Most biographies explain a person’s birth and death dates (if they have died), what their childhood was like, their education, their work accomplishments and their personal or familial accomplishments.

Why should we read biographies?

When we read about other people's struggles and triumphs, we see what we have in common and are able to see the importance of our own life.

Telling a Story About Me: Young Children Write Autobiographies

• Resources & Preparation
• Instructional Plan
• Related Resources

Developing ideas collaboratively, planning writing projects before executing them, and learning to compose sentences related to a specific topic are important skills for students to master. This lesson plan teaches these skills while drawing from the lives of first and second grade students who will write and publish autobiographies based on personal photographs. The lesson begins with the students working at home with their families to select and record relevant information about photos. Students then work in small groups and independently to create their autobiographies.

From Theory to Practice

• Autobiographical writing gives teachers a way to engage students and their families in literacy learning, creating a willingness to participate in literacy activities.
• Expanding students' knowledge of their community and themselves deepens their understanding of the reading and writing process.

When students write narratives about their own lives it helps them develop personal, social, and cultural connections.

Exploring their own life stories can provide a sense of direction and purpose for students that other forms of writing do not.

Common Core Standards

This resource has been aligned to the Common Core State Standards for states in which they have been adopted. If a state does not appear in the drop-down, CCSS alignments are forthcoming.

State Standards

This lesson has been aligned to standards in the following states. If a state does not appear in the drop-down, standard alignments are not currently available for that state.

NCTE/IRA National Standards for the English Language Arts

• 4. Students adjust their use of spoken, written, and visual language (e.g., conventions, style, vocabulary) to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences and for different purposes.
• 5. Students employ a wide range of strategies as they write and use different writing process elements appropriately to communicate with different audiences for a variety of purposes.
• 6. Students apply knowledge of language structure, language conventions (e.g., spelling and punctuation), media techniques, figurative language, and genre to create, critique, and discuss print and nonprint texts.
• 7. Students conduct research on issues and interests by generating ideas and questions, and by posing problems. They gather, evaluate, and synthesize data from a variety of sources (e.g., print and nonprint texts, artifacts, people) to communicate their discoveries in ways that suit their purpose and audience.
• 8. Students use a variety of technological and information resources (e.g., libraries, databases, computer networks, video) to gather and synthesize information and to create and communicate knowledge.
• 11. Students participate as knowledgeable, reflective, creative, and critical members of a variety of literacy communities.
• 12. Students use spoken, written, and visual language to accomplish their own purposes (e.g., for learning, enjoyment, persuasion, and the exchange of information).

• Formulate ideas for an autobiography by working collaboratively and independently
• Practice their writing skills by composing sentences in the first person using themselves as subject matter and revising the composed sentences into a story
• Participate in a literacy community by reading their stories aloud in small groups

• Invite families to school to share the published autobiographies of the students.
• Further develop students' autobiographical writing skills by using the Stapleless Book or the online ReadWriteThink Printing Press to have them write more about their lives.

Student Assessment / Reflections

Throughout this lesson, you may use the Assessment Guide to document observations of students in each of the five areas found in the lesson objectives: family participation, collaborative work, independent work, writing sentences, and reading aloud. There is also space to record other notes and observations. Some questions to ask when using the Assessment Guide include:

• Family Participation–How much did the family participate in this project? Did they send in appropriate photographs and complete the work that needed to be done at home? Was the work done when requested?
• Collaborative Work–How did the student collaborate with his or her peers? Did he or she make appropriate suggestions? How did he or she accept suggestions about his or her own work?
• Independent Work–How did the student work independently during the project? Did he or she follow directions? How well did he or she stay on task when working independently?
• Writing Sentences–How did the student do at composing and writing sentences for the autobiography? Are the sentences on topic with the photographs? Are the sentences grammatically correct? What resources did he or she use to spell and write words (asking a peer, asking a teacher, the word wall, the dictionary, or using phonetic spelling)?
• Reading Aloud–How did the student do when reading the autobiography aloud? Could he or she read it independently or was assistance needed? How was the fluency of reading aloud?

Teaching Biography Genre Study – Sensational Ideas for You

Teaching a biography genre study? Check out these ideas. No more boring book reports. Instead, bring biographies to life! Create an inviting learning center where students explore short biographies. Help kids select people they admire. Finally, plan an exciting presentation for the end of the unit.

Teaching Biography with Short and Long Texts

Our favorite fourth grade teacher, Ms. Sneed, sat at the side table with her student teacher. “Let’s continue planning our ELA block ,” she said. “It’s time to tackle another genre study .”

“Great!” said Mr. Grow. “What’s up next?”

“Biographies. I like to think of this as the one-two punch. Hook them with short biographies. Then immerse them in a longer text. The beauty of biographies is the range of levels. You should be able to find multiple texts, each written at a different reading level, for many famous people. What does that mean? Instant differentiation!”

She pulled out a set of lesson plans and began to explain. “As you can see, we’ll spend three weeks on our biography genre study. To accomplish everything, we’ll layer it in three sections. The first two – reading, responding and research – are essential. The third – enrichment activities – can be used for early finishers or homework.”

Start with Short Biographies

Ms. Sneed continued, “Kids love to learn about people from the past. First, we’ll let them explore with short biographies.

One-Page Passages

“To whet their whistles, we’ll set up an interactive display of one-page biographies.” Ms. Sneed now pulled out a folder full of colorful texts. “Here’s a little trick some other teachers taught me. I simply purchased two collective biographies: Amelia to Zora and Akira to Zoltan . Then I took a deep breath and cut out all the pages. Some years when I’m teaching biography, I hang them up and let kids read the wall; other years I scatter them on a table. To preserve them, each is stored in its own page protector.

“We’ll set these up now. When the kids come in tomorrow, we’ll set them loose. At first, they can just explore. It will give them a fun introduction to the genre.”

Next, Ms. Sneed wandered over to her desk. Mr. Grow noticed a huge stack of picture books. “The second step is to select 30 or more books from the school library. I pulled these myself, but you can also ask the librarian to do it for you. These books may be short, but each has a reading level of 4.0 or higher. After all, we want to keep our readers challenged.”

Picture Books

Next, Ms. Sneed wandered over to her desk. Mr. Grow noticed a huge stack of picture books. “The second step in teaching biography is to select 30 or more books from the school library. I pulled these myself, but you can also ask the librarian to do it for you. These books may be short, but each has a reading level of 4.0 or higher. After all, we want to keep our readers challenged.”

She picked up a book and set it upright on the table. “We’ll arrange them like. Then we’ll invite our students to choose biographies and enjoy the excitement!

Biography Organizer

“This time, though, we’ll ask them to complete  this handy organizer . It can actually be used at just about any point in a biography genre study. Additionally, we use it with our Martin Luther King ELA resources .”

Crafts and Projects

Ms. Sneed dug into her teaching biography file one more time. “Why don’t you take a look at these templates ? When kids work with their hands, they become more engaged in their biographies. In addition to crafts, a double timeline, social media activity, and research pages are included.”

Continue Teaching Biography with Longer Texts

Ms. Sneed paused for a sip of coffee. “When teaching biography, I also like my students to read full-length books. I generally ask the students to pick and choose Common Core-related activities from these biography choice boards . You can see that they also emphasize higher order thinking skills.”

For the Grand Finale – A Wax Museum!

“Now it’s time to discuss one of my favorites when teaching biography. This project lets you bring history to life! After researching a famous person, kids write monologues and dress like the people in their biographies. It’s a wax museum right in your classroom.”

Mr. Grow’s face lit up. “Hey! I did that when I was in elementary school! Cool!”

Ms. Sneed pulled a page from her file. Her eyes crinkled. “Here’s an example. Actually, this is a picture of my own daughter. When she was in fourth grade, she researched Orville Redenbacher.”

“Formats vary from simple to complex. Just choose the living history presentation style that’s right for you:

• Classroom Presentation – Each child stands in front of the class and presents his monologue.
• Classroom Walkthrough – First, kids create tabletop displays featuring famous people. Second, they dress like those people. When the time comes, they stand next to their displays. Finally, the audience files in.
• Wax Museum – Students stand still (just like figures in a wax museum). Visitors come, press their buttons, and bring them to life. Then the “wax figures” tell about their lives.
• Living History Presentation – For the ultimate experience, stage the presentation in an auditorium. Students (in their costumes) sit with their families as part of the audience. As a narrated slide show plays, each historical figure is introduced. Then the child “pops up” and presents a monologue.

“I can’t say enough about this part of our biography genre study. Kids love it! And it’s full of instructional power. Kids read, research, create timelines, write in first person, memorize, practice public speaking skills, and more. The excitement and confidence-building of the program are magical. I hope you’ll try it while you’re teaching biography.”
