The teaching guide for the Biography Unit of Study focuses on developing students’ reading and writing skills through the study of biographical texts. It includes a range of activities that aim to support students in analyzing and synthesizing biographical information, as well as crafting their own biographical writing. The unit begins with an introduction to the genre of biography, including a discussion of its purpose, features, and common structures. Students then engage in close reading and analysis of biographical texts, with a focus on identifying key details and making inferences about the subject’s life.
Next, the guide provides opportunities for students to practice writing their own biographical texts, starting with short biographical sketches and progressing to longer, more complex pieces. Throughout this process, students learn strategies for conducting research, organizing information, and crafting effective prose.
Finally, the guide includes assessments and reflection activities to help students demonstrate their learning and reflect on their growth as readers and writers of biographical texts. Overall, the teaching guide provides a comprehensive framework for teaching the Biography Unit of Study, helping students develop critical thinking skills, strengthen their writing abilities, and deepen their understanding of the lives of important historical figures.
This Biography Reading and Writing unit of study is intended to use as a separate study of the genre of biography or as part of a unit study of non-fiction.
It includes videos, anchor charts, reading activities (individual and with partner), group activities, as well as a section for writing a biography report. Also included are templates for report as well as note taking and sketching pages for report. Students can use keyword list when writing their biography report.
Report templates are included for grades 1 – 4 and can be used interchangeably.
