What You Do
1. On the FRONT of the folded paper, print the title and author of the biography you have
read. Then print your NAME in the lower right-hand corner.
2. On the inside, glue the drawing paper on the left-hand side. Glue the lined writing paper
on the right-hand side.
3. On the drawing paper on the left-hand side of the inside, draw and color a very neat
picture of the main character. The picture should show the reason he or she is famous. It
should be obvious from the picture who the person is. Use details and the background to
show important information about the character. (I should know from the picture who
the person is and why he or she is important.)
4. On the lined writing paper on the right-hand side of the inside, write the title of the
biography. Underline it and capitalize it correctly.
5. Under the title, write the author.
6. Begin your paragraph with a topic sentence that tells the most important reasons why or
how this person became famous. Remember to indent.
7. Continue your paragraph by telling five or more things you learned about this person by
reading the biography. Be sure to choose important things this person did or important
things that happened to this person. Use a new sentence for each of the things you
learned.
8. Check your paragraph. It should be indented, have a topic sentence, and have at least
five more well-written sentences that tell more about the character.
9. End your paragraph with a concluding sentence that tells how you feel after reading
about this biographical character. (Examples: I’m really glad that _______. OR I wish I ______.)
