Turn Your Students into Biography Writing Superstars

Students often find it challenging to write biographies. Informative writing requires the writer to decide what is essential, which is challenging to a new writer because they have to rely on their own judgment. 

By using this biography flipbook, your students will analyze and organize the most important aspects of a person’s life and write about them.

Students will go through each page, including the following information about their biography subject:

  • Basic Information
  • Early Life
  • Adult Life
  • Legacy & Achievements
  • Personality Traits
  • Timeline

After all the sections are filled in, students use the information to write a 1-page biography on their subject in their own words. 

Finally, students cut out each section to assemble the flipbook and staple them together in order.  

Through completing this activity, students demonstrate their ability to develop a topic, gather relevant information, and paraphrase the information avoiding plagiarism.
