Overview: A biography is the story of a person's life written by someone else. A biographer deals with facts instead of creating the stories and characters found in fictional writing. Sometimes the person chosen to write about is a hero, perhaps not well known, but making contributions that should be recognized. By researching, taking notes with differentiated graphic organizers to meet the needs of all students, and writing a biography of one of the players from the Age of the Negro Baseball Leagues, students will use their writing skills to understand the great contributions, influence, and struggles of these "Men the Majors Forgot".

Resources and graphic organizers to use with the unit:

Differentiated graphic organizers
Biography Task Sheet and Rubric
Introduction to the Negro Baseball Leagues
List of players from the Negro Leagues who are in the Baseball Hall of Fame

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Grades Taught:
Subject Area:

Like most of you reading this profile, I am a lover of children, a care-giver, and a dedicated teacher. I spent 32 years in the classroom before retiring several years ago. During my tenure as a teacher in the elementary grades, I was on a myriad of writing committees, including those that developed the benchmarks for the district. As a literacy coach, I was able to present at both local and state levels at both the Reading and Math conferences. I co-authored a book, Beyond Book Buddies, by Corwin Press. I have also written for the internet and been a critical reader for both Scott Foresman and Corwin Press. As a teacher I wrote and received many grants at both the state and local level. During these last years, I have been writing units of study for my daughter who teaches in Texas. She has been able to use and adapt them for her Special Ed students of high school age, a task for all teachers using units and lessons of study written by others. The method of teaching should be the decision of the teacher and should meet the needs of the students he/she teaches.
