Would you like to assign a report that requires students to THINK instead of copying and pasting facts from a website? This 15-page packet describes how to involve students in creating Character Bio Reports. This assignment requires students to choose a famous person or character, research that person, and write a short character analysis. Complete directions are included, along with graphic organizers and a rubric. Download the preview version to see what's included! Report variations include: President Bio, Scientist or Inventor Bio, Black American Bio, Historical Figure Bio, and Book Character Bio.

I loved the clarity and the options for different kinds of character bio reports. My students will love doing research instead of dreading the process.

This is great to use in any class and has very clear instructions. I am using this in a history class but is great for teaching correct paper structure while using graphic organizers. Great for those visual learners.

Thanks Dena! I try to make everything easy for you by including graphic organizers, step-by-step directions, and a rubric. My students' President Bio Reports were some of the best I've ever received from 5th graders. I know yours will be awesome!

Good morning Laura;
I just purchased your Character Bio Report and The Boy Who Saved Baseball; but I am unable to print it out. What do I need to do; I followed the instructions.

Chenita, the Character Bio Report is my product, but the Boy Who Saved Baseball is not. Which product are you having trouble printing? I haven't had anyone tell me that the Character Bio directions wouldn't print.
