Biographies

Monday – Look at the model text.  Identify the features of a biography by highlighting and annotating the text. Can you create your own toolkit?  Look at the features provided – how many did you find?

Tuesday – Research a famous person of your choice.  This should not be someone like a YouTuber – you need to be able to find lots of information.  This person should also be appropriate for your age!

Wednesday – Plan your biography.  Look back to the features and your research.  Think about how you could organise this – you may want o ‘box it up’.

Thursday and Friday – Write the biography.
