I enjoy learning about different people, about their lives and careers. I try not to miss any opportunity to teach my students about famous or important people. I put together the Biography Packs to help them learn in a fun and engaging way about different people’s lives and how they changed the world we see today.

I tried to include a high interest passage and other activities to go along with it. Check them out below:

•The passage is student friendly, yet informative, containing all the important aspects of the person’s life and work. 

•Afterward I chose to add a reading comprehension sheet (differentiated on two levels) to make sure the students fixed some of the information. 

•The timeline sheet (also differentiated on two levels) helps the students gain an idea of the time period discussed while also arranging in chronological order the main events in the person’s life.

•The quote activity (differentiated on two levels) allows the student to discuss one of the person’s most famous quotes. 

•The writing activities (informational and opinion) encourage students to dig deeper into the topic and express their own opinions.

•I also included a sheet called Other Opinions, where students can go around the class, or work in pairs or groups, and write each other’s opinions on the topic. I found this activity to be great for discussions or debates. It’s one of my students’ favorite.

•The Venn Diagram sheet (differentiated on two levels) allows the student to compare the person to another one already suggested, or to someone chosen by them. 

Finally, I included a brochure that students can fill in based on the text or their own research. They can keep it and collect all of them, if you plan to purchase more biography packs. We actually have a folder for each student where they keep their biography brochures. 

As fun coloring activities, there are also bookmarks and a quote poster. I would recommend printing the bookmarks sheet on cardstock.

You can go paperless with the digital version of the resource available in Google Slides. The backgrounds of the slides are embedded, so it’s student friendly. It’s also in widescreen format, so it’s very comfortable to use.

Look for the icons that will help you navigate through the resource. And also for the symbols that indicate the level of difficulty.

•One high-interest passage about Cesar Chavez;

•Comprehension Questions – 2 levels – multiple choice / long and short answer
