Independent Reading: Life Studies
Mrs. Overstreet-Third Trimester Due May _______
Overview
Whereas during first/second trimester you could read any kind of book
you wanted to investigate, this trimester we will specifically read
biographies, autobiographies, or memoirs that all have something in common.
Last year, for example, someone read three biographies of people who were
influential in the 1950s (James Dean, Elvis, and Marilyn Monroe). Another
student, who loves music, read biographies or autobiographies by or about The
Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Jimi Hendrix.
This trimester we will choose three books that allow you to study the
lives of people you find interesting and think are important. These people
might be coaches, leaders in some field, historical figures, or people you
respect. My hope is that you will accept this invitation to learn more about
people you respect or find interesting and to learn from their lives some
lessons that you can apply to your own.
Requirement
This assignment asks each of you to:
1. Read three books that fall into any of these
categories:
• Autobiography
• Biography
• Memoir
• Nonfiction book about a team or distinct
group of people (e.g., The Nine, by Jeffrey Toobin, about the Supreme Court
justices)
• Choose books appropriate to your age and reading
level. Each book should be a full-length, well-written, serious book (as
opposed to a short fan biography).
Project PowerPoint Due May ___________
Your PowerPoint should have 6 slides, title slide, one slide per book, one
slide for your 3 outside sources and a conclusion slide.

-Book title and summary
- Person #1 – Identify the major challenges or obstacles this person faced

- Person #2 – Identify the major challenges or obstacles this person faced
