Genre Project
Biography
For our last Genre Project, all students will choose a biography to read.
The reading can be done in class, but most of it will need to be done at
home. The book needs to be read and returned to school by Tuesday, May 29th.
The project will be completed in class and we will have a culminating
activity on Thursday, June 14th. Our focus on this project will be
informative writing, paragraphing, and oral presentation. I have listed the
research questions below that we will be focusing on in class. Feel
free to help your child take notes and/or research further using other books
or the internet. Please contact me with any questions or concerns!
Research questions to keep in mind while reading:
Name?
Birth date?
Birthplace?
What are some interesting childhood facts about this person?
What are some of the important events that occurred in his/her life?
(things that made or helped them become famous)
How has this person affected/changed our lives today?
Date/cause of death?
If alive, where are they today?
