As promised! Here are our mini-lesson slides from this week. I hope to see your drafts by Wednesday next week!

As a biography writer, what do you want your reader to understand about your biographical subject  (remarkable family/community member)? What kind of writing will help your readers reach that understanding?

For example, I am writing about T. Sandy. I want my literary sketch on her to show that she is caring, hardworking, and wise. I hope to do that by telling clear, short anecdotes about her; and writing some of our shared memories. I saw this in the sketches I read about Maya Angelou and it helped me get to know her as a person. I hope to do the same for T. Sandy.

Please comment with your bio subject and responses to the questions. :) Happy weekend!

Hi Grade 7! :) Here is a link to my research biography board on Maya Angelou. I asked you in class what sources/ materials we can find useful and you said that our boards could have the following:

- Biography Sketches
- Official Websites
- Videos of interviews or their shows
- Documentary
- News articles about them
- Photos
- Related/ relevant events to the subject's life; or events they contributed to

I'm excited to see your work! Please post a link to your own board on this post's comment section. :)

For tomorrow, please be ready with a biographical sketch on your hero. I'll be using this for our mentor text: https://www.biography.com/people/maya-angelou-9185388
