Grade 8's have started studying biography writing this week;each student has chosen a person they will be researching and ultimately writing a biography about this person.
This writing will be the most formal piece of writing they have written thus far. Students will be shown how to properly construct an outline, introduction, body paragraphs and conclusion. In addition students will be shown how to research properly(taking notes..not copying!) and correctly cite their sources. Lastly students will be expected to give a short presentation about their subject.
