Components Checklist

Worksheet Description

This Biographies worksheet, titled “Components Checklist,” aids students in understanding the essential components that make up a biography.

As they delve into a biography, students will use this checklist to identify and mark off the elements that are consistently present throughout the text. These elements include details such as the subject’s birth and death dates, significant life events, contributions or achievements, and the chronological organization of events. By actively engaging with these elements in real biographical texts, students will develop a deeper comprehension of how biographies are structured and what makes them unique as a genre.

This exercise encourages critical reading skills and helps students appreciate the art of storytelling through biographical narratives.
