Deb yahoo. Adorable pack!! Would love a chance to win it :. By studying biographies, students can learn about people who are like them, but also people who are very different from them! Learning about different people, in different places and in different circumstances teaches students empathy and understanding. First, you will have to teach your first grade students what a biography IS.

In its simplest terms, a biography is a factual true story about someone's life. A biography includes true information about a person, their life and their contributions to their community and sometimes even the world. Students should also understand that biographies can come in many different forms. Most of the time, we read biographies in the form of books.

When considering sources for biographies look for the following information:. I always like to kick off my biography units with a short informational poster and vocabulary cards. I think sometimes students do better when they are giving small chunks of information. Then, on the second day of the biography unit, I will read a book or we will watch a short video and we continue to do that each day of the biography unit.

Reviewing vocabulary is also a great way to make comparisons between the current time period and the time period of the person you are studying. It offers up a great opportunity to talk about tools or items we use and how they have been changed or upgraded by technology over time. Another skill that Texas says a first grade student should have is the ability to read and understand timelines.

They really benefit from being able to cut the events out and physically place and glue them on the timeline. Not only do they benefit from it, but they also really enjoy it.
