Biography of a 2nd Grader

Last week we used cross-curricula practices to research historical figures using biographies in Social Studies, reading biographies in reading, and also writing biographies in writing.

We began our writing by completing a chart on what a biography: has, does, is and is not. Then we brainstormed a list of questions to ask if we were to write a biography. Later, we interviewed a fellow classmate (chosen randomly by the teacher) about their life. This week we will finalize our biography.
