Adaptable Bio Templates for Any Classroom Project
There’s no such thing as having too many options when it comes to students presenting their written work! This resource provides eight different bio templates that students can choose from, based on the needs of their project.
Here’s how you might use some of these biography templates with your students:
- Biography Cube – Have students create a biography cube, but leave off the person’s name. Play a game where students roll each other’s cubes to gather clues, then try to guess the identity of the featured person.
- Biography Wanted Poster – Have students create posters for historical villains, rebels or influential change-makers with dramatic headlines. Display these on your classroom bulletin board.
- Biography Portrait – Have students combine art and writing by drawing a portrait of their chosen person and including a short biography. Hold a class biography gallery walk, where students present and discuss their chosen figure’s contributions.
