Need a great ice breaker for the beginning of the year? I used this lesson during the first week of classes. I had the students write biographies of each other, and then I posted the biographies and the students' pictures on the bulletin board. The students loved it and it was a way for them to practice communicating with others and learning more about the people around them. This will: help students to understand how a well written biography begins, provide questions that will give them meaningful answers and display a rubric for teacher and student to follow upon evaluation of the biography.
This is an excellent resource which is sure to enhance students' writing skills. I like how you included the rubric. The idea of having students write about each other is very good. I have now become a follower of yours. I invite you to rate my free resource and check my store out at http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Free-vocabulary-worksheet-for-The-Bet-by-Anton-Chekhov

This is packaged together very nicely. Its intention is for students to get to know each other better, but I am confident one can modify the product just slightly and have the students create biographies of actual historical figures using the same framework and guidance as provided in this product (making up some of the answers of course!).

Some of the fonts don't work on my computer - it looks like musical notes. What can I do?

High light the font and change it to arial or times new roman to view it. Sorry.

Before becoming a teacher, I was a substitute teacher as I attended my undergraduate studies at the State University of New York at Geneseo. I have been a high school English teacher in New York State for 10 years. My undergraduate work consisted of Secondary Education with Concentration in English and History from SUNY Geneseo. My master's degree concentrated on integrating technology into the curriculum from the University of Phoenix Online. Many of my lessons integrate the use of technology in some way. I have been a teacher author for Teachers Pay Teachers since March of 2007.
