This week we began our inquiry into biographies. What are they? Why are they important? What are the essential components of a biography? When students answer these questions themselves, they are more successfully equipped to tackle writing one!
We have read several 'mentor texts' to learn about important people, and about the components of a biography. We've also watched short 5-minute biography videos. From Beethoven, to Helen Keller, to Martin Luther King Jr... students are learning a lot! Up next? Choosing a person to research and writing our own biographies! Fact vs fiction, features of non-fiction texts, using colons and more! |
