Showcase Your Students’ Biography Subjects 

With this free biography report template, students will enjoy creating a unique presentation that highlights the most important life details of their subject.  

In this free biography template for kids, students will go through each section and list the following information about their historical figure:

  • Birth & Death
  • Greatest Achievement
  • Three Important Facts
  • Famous Quote
  • Portrait

Through biography writing, students demonstrate the ability to develop a topic, gather relevant information, and paraphrase the information avoiding plagiarism.

To create your classroom display, fold the top section of each pennant over a ribbon or string to hang it as a banner. Exhibit the pennant banners in your classroom or on a bulletin board.

Biography Examples for Students

Have your students research historical figures such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Marie Curie, Maya Angelou, Shirley Chisholm, Jesse Owens, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and others who have impacted our society!
