Student Instructions

Click on the link link and watch the video about biographies. Choose a person who inspires and who you are curious to find out more about. Your person should be a person who has made the world a better place - a world leader, a civil rights hero, an inventor, a woman who broke down walls, a person of colour who overcame racism, an artist or even an entrepreneur such as Steve Jobs. Using one of the scaffolds, plan out your biography. Make sure you include important details about the person's date of birth, early life, why they are inspirational, a series of events that happened in their life and a conclusion. You can write your own biography about your chosen person and include all the information. I have included an example of a biography!
