Biography Book Report

Due Date: Tuesday, May 27, 2014

For each day the book report is late, your grade will go down one letter grade!

Step 1: Read a biography:

Find a biography about someone you like or are interested in. It should be a

chapter book. This person can be someone who has already died or is still alive.

You can read a book about historical figures, inventors, political or social leaders,

sports figures, movie stars, scientists, etc. Our school library and the Camden

County Library have plenty of books from which to choose

Step 2: Gather Information:

While reading your book, use the Biography Notes in this packet to collect

information about your famous person. If your book doesn’t tell you everything you

need to know, you may also use an encyclopedia or the Internet to fill in the blanks.

Keep in mind that this form is to help you collect information only. It is to be

turned in with your report, but this is Not the report!

Step 3: Write your report:

Us e the information you have gathered to write your book report. You can

write it neatly or use Microsoft Word to type your report. The report should be

written in paragraph form or organized headings/questions and be written in

complete sentences.

Make sure you write the report about the person (i.e. “Abraham Lincoln was

born in…”). Your report needs to include the following information:

 Where was the person born? In what year?

 If he/she died, when and where did it happen?

 Where did this person grow up?

 What does/did this person do for a living?

 Why is this person famous? What did this person do to become famous?

 How has this person made an impact on others’ lives?
