3.11 It's All About Who?

Choosing A Subject

Whose life story do you find interesting? Is it someone from history or someone alive today? Is it someone you already know a lot about or someone you want to know better? In today’s assignment, you will choose someone whose biography you would like to write.

To help you choose someone whose biography you would like to write, you will complete an activity to learn about some of your options. Some possibilities include:

  • Celebrities (singers, musicians, actors or actresses, etc.)

  • Sports figures

  • Politicians and / or newsmakers

  • Authors

  • Businesspeople

Who you choose is up to you. Just be sure it's someone well known whose life story has been published. That way you will be able to find lots of information on him or her.

Your subject should also be an adult (at least in his or her 20s). Adults have accomplished more than most children or teenagers so there is more to tell about them.
