John F. Kennedy President Biography Research Graphic Organizer

Perfect for Presidents' Day and U.S. History lesson plans, this biography graphic organizer is a perfect way to ensure your students are keeping their research organized and focusing on the most important aspects of the person they're studying. This activity can easily serve as a note-taking tool for an essay or presentation, and can also serve as the biography project itself! This organizer is perfect for integrating literacy into other subjects, especially social studies. It allows students to go beyond reading to really interact with the chosen text as they determine which facts are relevant. It would also make a great end-of-year review.

Each 2-page graphic organizer has space for the following information:

• Picture
• Important people in their lives
• Childhood (how and when did they grow up?)
• Education & career
