Today we began our Biography Unit. Our first mini-lesson focused on, What is a Biography, and What causes a person to have a biography? Students quickly knew that a biography is a
story about someone’s life. I was very
impressed that students knew an autobiography is created when someone writes
about themselves.
We discussed, and looked through, biographies to help us
answer the question, What makes a person
have a biography? Some reasons why students think people have a biography
written about them are:
Leader- Martin Luther King and Ruby
Bridges (both stood up for what they believe in).
Special talent: Marian Jones (was a beautiful
singer)
Were 1st at
something/Scientist: Jane Goodall (chimpanzees)
Athlete: LeBron James (basketball), Lou
Gehrig (baseball)
Tomorrow we will continue to learn about the “category”
famous people fall into and we will sort biographies into categories.
