A biography is simply the story of a life. Biographies analyze and interpret the events in a person's life. They try to find connections, explain the meaning of unexpected actions or mysteries, and make arguments about the significance of the person's accomplishments or life activities. Biographies are usually about famous or infamous people, but even a biography of an ordinary person can tell us a lot about a particular time and place. They are often about historical figures, but they can also be about people still living. Many biographies are written in chronological order. Some focus on a theme and others focus on specific topics or accomplishments.
Visual Representation of your Research for your Leader Biography will take place in ONE of the following FORMS:
o Treasure Chest OR Suitcase of... In your box include research and images to show your leader’s life and accomplishments
