How to Write a Biography:

​A biography is simply the story of a life. Biographies can be just a few sentences long, or they can fill an entire book—or two.
  • Very short biographies tell the basic facts of someone's life and importance.
  • Longer biographies include that basic information of course, with a lot more detail, but they also tell a good story.

Biographies analyze and interpret the events in a person's life. They try to find connections, explain the meaning of unexpected actions or mysteries, and make arguments about the significance of the person's accomplishments or life activities. Biographies are usually about famous, or infamous people, but a biography of an ordinary person can tell us a lot about a particular time and place. They are often about historical figures, but they can also be about people still living.

Many biographies are written in chronological order. Some group time periods around a major theme (such as "early adversity" or "ambition and achievement" ). Still others focus on specific topics or accomplishments.

Biographers use primary and secondary sources:
  • Primary sources are things like letters, diaries, or newspaper accounts.
  • Secondary sources include other biographies, reference books, or histories that provide information about the subject of the biography.

Please Proofread Your Work :)
  1. Look for careless errors such as misspelled words and incorrect punctuation and capitalization.
  2. Errors are harder to spot on a computer screen than on paper. Remember, spell checkers and grammar checkers don't always catch errors, so it is best not to rely on them too much.
 
  •  A student editing checklist is included for students to check their own writing
  • A rubric is included for you to grade your work.
