Biographies

Fifth graders have been reading up a storm and it's time to kick off our first Independent Reading Genre Study. For this unit, students will be choosing a biography to read. A biography tells about a person's life and accomplishments.

Students must select and show me their choice by MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24th. Students will then begin reading their biographies in class and at home, so they should always have it with them.
Biographies must be read by MONDAY, OCTOBER 15th. We will work on a Power Point presentation of the book in Computer and English class.

Students may borrow a book from my classroom library, the SESO library, MAYAGÜEZ Children's Library, or purchase one from Amazon (or other online sellers).

 I can especially recommend :
 "Who Was..."series available here. 
"DK Biography series available here.

Please contact me with any questions.
