6 Student Learning Objectives Use the writing process: To study mentor texts to identify common characteristics of biographies To demonstrate that a biography can be a true account of the person s whole life, or part of it To compose a biography that is completely factual or by adding dialogue to the events 6
7 IDEAS: Enduring Read aloud various mentor texts to assist students in writing biographical pieces. Understandings A biography is a true account of a person s whole life or a part of it. Write about the most important events of a person s life. Understand the significance of events and how personal decisions affected the person s life. ORGANIZATION: Details about the person life fit where they are placed and the sequencing is logical and effective. 7 VOICE: The writer shows a strong commitment to the subject by expressing details about the person s life in a way that keeps the reader interested and engaged. WORD CHOICE: The writer describes the person s emotions by using words and phrases that show rather than tell. SENTENCE FLUENCY: Interest and clarity is added when the sentence patterns and types are varied. CONVENTIONS: Conventions are applied correctly so that the writing makes sense to the reader. PRESENTATION: The presentation of the text enhances the ability for the reader to understand and connect with the message.
8 IDEAS: Essential What important or interesting events from the person s life did I include in my writing? Questions ORGANIZATION: Does my story have enough detail to describe the person s life events? Are the important or interesting events in the correct sequence? VOICE: How does my voice promote the subject of this biography? 8 WORD CHOICE: What language did I use (figurative and descriptive language) to make sure that my writing is vivid and comes alive to the reader? How did I use quotations from my subjects to bring additional insight? SENTENCE FLUENCY: In what ways does my sentence structure catch and keep the reader s interest? Do my words and phrases flow together? CONVENTIONS: Where can I improve my spelling, punctuation, verb usage, capitals and other grammar conventions to enhance my story?

10 Mini-lesson Structure Mini-lesson Teaching Points Writer s Workshop Model why, how, and when students will use the strategy you are about to teach. Teach students strategies that they will use often as writers. Demonstrate, explain, and show examples, engage in shared inquiry, or use guided practice. Incorporate technology to enhance learning. 10 Active Student Engagement After teaching, give all students a timed opportunity to apply what you have taught. Teachers must use this opportunity to observe students understanding of the teaching point prior to the formal writing portion of Writer s Workshop. Link Link the mini-lesson to the day s workshop. You can do this in your writing today. It is not something to do just today. Today and everyday you can do it. Share/Reflect After the formal writing portion of Writer s Workshop, share examples of students using the day s strategy by reading aloud or a pair/share.
11 Teaching and Learning Actions for Informational Writing Genre Biography Use technology (Smartboards, Document Cameras) to help teach various elements of narrative writing through the use of mentor text. Notes 11 Students write various kinds of biographical pieces (true account and fictionalized) by studying mentor texts. Students choose a subject and state a reason for their selection. Conduct research by completing an outline on the person s life based on the resource used. Include the following details: What events in this person s life, from child to adulthood, shaped him or her? What hurdles did they overcome in order to accomplish what they did? What did this person do that was the highlight of their life? Did this person do anything that was special and affected many others? How is this person known, locally, nationally, or internationally? Write about examples from the person s life that illustrates the qualities you choose to highlight. Is the world, or simply the family and friends, better off for having known this person? Choose events to write about that have significance to the subject and/or the writer. Include important decisions made by the subject. Exclude extraneous events and details. Relate your biography in an order (sequential, referential, small moment) that makes sense. Add dialogue, as appropriate to allow for greater insight of the person. What you think he or she said needs to be as accurate as you can possibly make it. Explain and/or substantiate opinions about the subject.
12 Teaching and Learning Actions for Informational Writing Genre Biography Conclude by writing about how the subject s life affected you. Notes Work with a partner and read each other s drafts to edit spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. A fresh pair of eyes may catch errors that the writer does not. Use a Writer s Checklist to confirm that all elements of writing are incorporated. Use word processing skills to produce a final copy of work. 12
