Biographies!

This week in English we have been learning about biographies! Can you remember what a biography is?

If you can't remember, it's a non-fiction text about someone's life!

Biographies usually include:

• date and place of birth (and death, if they're not alive any more)
• current location of residence.
• educational background.
• professional experience.
• area of expertise.
• major achievements.

Main features of the text are:

• titles and subtitles.
• written in the past tense.
• written in paragraphs.
• using pronouns.
• using pictures.

Challenge!

Think about your favourite famous person. This could either be a footballer, singer, band, film star, poet, author etc.

Can you either find or write a biography about this person? You could look online, visit your local library, or even find a documentary!

If you fancy the challenge, pop them in your love to learn books, we would love to see them!
