TOPIC: BIOGRAPHY
Biographies can be engaging and accessible, making them a great way for students to improve
their reading and comprehension skills. They can also serve as a gateway to other types of
literature and non-fiction.
Steps to be followed:
1. Research: Begin by gathering as much information as possible about the subject of the
biography. This may include reading books, articles, and other sources, as well as conducting
interviews with people who knew the subject.
2. Timeline: Create a timeline to organize the information you've gathered. This will help you
determine the structure of the biography and ensure that you cover all the important aspects of the
subject's life.
3. Introduction: Start with a compelling introduction that grabs the reader's attention and provides
some background information about the subject.
4. Early Life: Describe the subject's early life, including where and when they were born, their family
background, and any significant events or experiences from their childhood.
5. Career and Achievements: Discuss the subject's career path, including any education or training
they received, key milestones in their career, and notable achievements or awards they received.
6. Personal Life: Provide insight into the subject's personal life, including their relationships,
hobbies, interests, and any challenges they faced.
7. Impact and Legacy: Describe the impact that the subject has had on their field, society, or the
world at large. Discuss their legacy and how they are remembered today.
8. Conclusion: Wrap up the biography with a conclusion that summarizes the key points and leaves
the reader with a lasting impression of the subject.
9. Editing and Revision: Once you have written the first draft, take the time to edit and revise it.
Check for errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling, and make sure that the narrative flows
smoothly.
10. Feedback: Finally, consider seeking feedback from others, such as friends, family, or colleagues,
to get their perspective on the biography and make any necessary revisions
