Biographies for First Grade

• Social Studies

When I think of teaching social studies in first grade, I think of teaching people, places and events, but rarely do I use the word “biography”. But in its simplest form, a biography is simply a study of a person, where they lived and what events happened in their life. 

After teaching first grade for more than a decade, I’ve realized that biographies in first grade are actually a very powerful tool.

Learning about different people and the struggles and triumphs they encountered is an excellent way to broaden a student’s view to more than just what they know within their family or community. 

I’ve also found that first grade students relate a lot more to historical events by learning about the people related to those events or places. 

In fact, I would go as far as to say that biographies are a great way to inspire your students to become leaders because they are studying the great impact that even one single person can have on not just a small community, but also the world. 

According to the standards set by the State of Texas (TEKS), first grade students should be able to: 

• Identify contributions of historical figures 
• Compare the lives of historical figures who have influenced the state and nation (compare daily lives, comparison of time in which they lived and comparison of the changes or contributions the historical figure made)
• Identify characteristics of good citizenship
• Identify historical figures and other individuals who have exemplified good citizenship such as Benjamin Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt

The best part about teaching biographies in first grade is that it is the PERFECT opportunity to go cross-curricular! You can combine your social studies time with reading and writing all throughout your day! In fact, this is one of my number one tips for “fitting it all in”.

Why Teach a Biography in First Grade?

Citizenship is a major social studies topic in first grade. Every teacher covers the basics of sharing, telling the truth and other good moral values. 

However, biographies allow teachers to take it a step further and really teach what it means to be a good citizen and contribute to the community and world around you. 

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. 

How to get started teaching biographies in First Grade

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. However, there can also be magazine articles, short videos, documentaries/movies or even just an informational poster. 

When considering sources for biographies look for the following information: 

• Important dates
• Family information
• Early life information (education, etc)
• Career information and special skills 
• Significant contributions to society
• Recognition and awards

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).

I think vocabulary is an important aspect to consider when teaching our first grade students about biographies because their background knowledge probably doesn’t include a lot of the terms they may encounter during their research. 

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. 

Out of the Box Biography Activities

Another skill that Texas says a first grade student should have is the ability to read and understand timelines. For me, this is an excellent skill to tie in with biographies because it helps students understand the events in a person’s life. 

I’ve found in my own classroom that cut and paste timelines are especially popular with my first graders. 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. It’s something a little different from the normal worksheets that are typically associated with “research”. 

Other out-of-the-box biography activities that you can try with your first grade students are: 

• Journal writing from the perspective of the person
• Write and draw a comic strip about the person’s life
• Make a poster about the person
• Film a video presentation or commercial about the person

Biographies and Writing

I mentioned earlier that I really love to tie my biography units into my daily reading and writing time. Biographies naturally lend themselves to reading comprehension skills but they also offer great opportunities for different types of writing. 

The easiest type of writing when it comes to biographies is informational or factual writing. It is very easy to wrap up a biography unit with students writing everything that they learned about a specific person and their contributions to their community.

However, there are also great opportunities for creative writing as well. Take whatever the historical figure is most well known for, and see how you can encourage students to write about their own ideas on the topic. 

For example, when we are studying inventors, I like to encourage my students to think about something new that they would like to invent. Then we practice our creative writing by describing the new invention, what it looks like, how it works and the process for creating it!

If we are studying civil rights leaders, then I encourage my students to think about ways they can influence others to be positive and foster equality for all people. Then we practice our creative writing by describing ways that people can help each other. 

The writing opportunities that come along with studying biographies are endless! You just have to get creative with them!

Types of Biographies for First Grade

So far, we’ve covered what a biography is, why they are beneficial and even ways that you can spice them up a little bit. But what KIND of biographies should first graders really be studying? 

In my classroom, I like to expose my students the five following categories of biographies: 

• Presidents/Government Leaders
• Civil rights

Some of these categories come very easily based on times of the year. 

President’s Day and Black History Month are in February which is a great time to cover presidents and civil rights leaders. 

March is Women’s History Month. 

Inventors and authors could be sprinkled in before and after, I suppose. 

But what if we were more intentional than that? 

What if we challenged ourselves to teach one biography unit a month for the entire school year? That’s 10 biography units for the entire year! And, you could cover each category twice! 

Will you take the challenge?

What is a Biography?

It is a written account of a person's life, capturing their experiences, achievements, and significant events. It provides an in-depth exploration of an individual's journey, offering insight into their personal and professional aspects. Biographies are typically organized in chronological order, following the sequence of events as they occurred throughout the person's life. This arrangement allows readers to understand the person's growth and development over time, as well as the impact they made in their respective fields. Biographies often include interesting facts about the person, shedding light on their unique qualities, accomplishments, or challenges they faced. These facts provide a deeper understanding of the individual's life and contribute to the overall narrative. Whether it's an extraordinary achievement, a personal struggle, or a notable contribution to society, these interesting facts add depth and intrigue to the writing.

Types of Biography

There are several different types of biographies that provide unique perspectives on individuals' lives. These types include:

• Autobiography: An autobiography is written about the author by the author. It offers a firsthand account of their own life, sharing personal experiences, reflections, and insights. Autobiographies provide an intimate look into the person's thoughts, emotions, and motivations.
• Memoir: Similar to an autobiography, a memoir focuses on specific periods or events in a person's life rather than their entire life story. Memoirs often center around a theme or specific aspect of the person's life, such as their career, relationships, or personal struggles.
• Collective: This a compilation of biographies of multiple individuals, often with a common theme or shared experience. It allows readers to gain insights into the lives of several people and compare their experiences and contributions.
• Biographical Fiction: Biographical fiction combines real-life events and characters with fictional elements. It blends factual information with storytelling techniques to write a compelling narrative based on a real person's life.
• Critical: Critical biographies delve into a person's life from a critical perspective, analyzing their achievements, impact, and cultural significance. They often provide a scholarly examination of the person's contributions and their place in history.
• Popular: Popular biographies are written for a wider audience and focus on individuals who have achieved fame or notoriety. They often emphasize the person's public persona, achievements, and impact on society.

Each type offers a distinct perspective and serves different purposes. Whether it's gaining a personal account through an autobiography or exploring the cultural significance of a person through a critical biography, biographies provide valuable insights into the lives of individuals and their contributions to society.

Enhance Biography Writing with a Biography Graphic Organizer

A graphic organizer is a valuable tool that can greatly enhance the process of writing biographies. It provides a structured format for organizing information and helps students gather and present key details about a person's life in a clear and logical manner. These graphic organizers, such as this creative graphic organizer example , serve as a roadmap for writers, guiding them through the writing process and ensuring that they include all the essential elements.

Using a graphic organizer helps students understand the format and enables them to write more effectively. It provides a visual representation of the various sections and components of a biography, such as the introduction, background information, major events, achievements, and conclusion. This organization helps maintain a coherent and chronological order while presenting the subject's life story.

Our website offers free printable biography worksheets, including biography activity worksheet, that can be easily accessed and downloaded for any project. They provide students with a ready-to-use template to record and organize information about their chosen subject. They can be used for short biographies or more extensive projects.

By using an organizer, kids read and analyze biographies, improving their comprehension skills and gaining a deeper understanding of the subject's life. A biography sheet acts as a framework that prompts students to identify important details, make connections between events, and form a comprehensive understanding of the individual's impact on the world.

Writing biographies can be a challenging task, but with the help of a graphic organizer, students can break down the process into manageable sections. They can focus on gathering relevant information, organizing their thoughts, and presenting their findings in a clear and concise manner.

• The Diary of a Young Girl , by Anne Frank: This iconic diary chronicles the life of Anne Frank, a Jewish girl hiding with her family during the Holocaust. Her poignant and introspective writing offers a firsthand account of the challenges and hopes of those affected by World War II.
• The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin , by Benjamin Franklin: This autobiography shares the life story of Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of America. Franklin's passages provide valuable insights into his scientific discoveries, inventions, and contributions to society.
• Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave , by Frederick Douglass: In this powerful narrative, Frederick Douglass recounts his journey from slavery to freedom. His memoir sheds light on the harsh realities of slavery and the fight for abolition.
• The Diary of a Young Girl , by Malala Yousafzai: This autobiography details the life of Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest Nobel Prize laureate. Her story inspires readers with her courage, determination, and dedication to advocating for education rights.

FREE Dr. Seuss Worksheets and Printables for Kids!

By: Author Leap of Faith Crafting

Home » FREE Printables

Instant download of 6 different Dr. Seuss worksheets for kids to do including a word search, crossword, and more fun activities!

The beloved Dr. Seuss… I have so many fond memories of reading Dr. Seuss books as a child and then reading them all to my own children.

My favorite Dr. Seuss book was Green Eggs and Ham and my kiddo’s favorite Dr Seuss books were Cat in the Hat, Lorax, and One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.

There are so many great Dr. Seuss books that it is really hard to pick just one favorite book! Our elementary school always had a Dr. Seuss’ birthday party for the kids and a ton of fun Dr. Seuss activities and free printables.

So in honor of Seuessville and Dr. Seuss’s genius that started with And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street , today I have 6 Dr. Seuss worksheets that will keep the kids or students engaged and learning at the same time!

Ways to Use Dr. Seuss Worksheets

You really can use these Dr. Seuss printables any time, but one of the best times is around Dr. Seuss’s birthday which is March 2nd aka Dr. Seuss Day and Read Across America Day!

If you are a teacher, homeschool Mom, or just a Dr. Seuss fan then having a Dr. Seuss party with a few easy DIY decorations would be a fun way to celebrate and make learning fun!

I made a ton of Dr. Seuss decorations for our Dr. Seuss theme bingo night at school. I love the whimsical look of Seussville themed decor and the library even kept the truffula trees and signs up on the bulletin boards year round.

Horton from Horton Hatches is my favorite character so of course I had to make a large cut out of him (and I did it with a cell phone and box projector !) The big elephant is so stinking cute!

Or you can find a bunch of Dr. Seuss decorations on Amazon or on Etsy here .

Have the party one day or spread it out over the Read Across America week or even a month while lesson plans can include reading a different Dr. Seuss book each day along with completing one Dr. Seuss activity sheet each day.

Amazon has a lot of great Dr. Seuss box sets if you are in need of some. This box set has some funny classics such as The Foot Book and There’s a Wocket in my Pocket.

Or leave the Dr. Seuss worksheets out during morning time for kindergarteners or elementary school aged students to work on as they like.

What’s Included in Dr. Seuss Printable Pack

Let’s take a quick look at the activity worksheets included in the PDF file of free Dr. Seuss printables. Any of these worksheets would pair nicely with our Oh The Places You’ll Go craft or another activity from our Dr. Seuss craft roundup .

First, there is a Who was Dr. Seuss informational worksheet about when and where Theodor Seuss Geisel was born.

If kids can read and write, they can read the short biography paragraph and then answer the questions by writing on the lines. If not, then a parent or teacher can read and help them!

Then there is a Dr. Seuss crossword puzzle all with the names of his most famous books.

The next activity will keep the children busy by looking around the room finding items that start with each letter in Fox in Socks and Cat in the Hat. For an extra learning activity, you can then have them put the words in alphabetical order!

And instead of color by number coloring page, there is a color the rhyme printable. The kids will have a colored picture of the famous red and white hat at the end and helps with fine motor skills!

Students will learn about body parts when they label Thing One and then color him in. This worksheet would pair perfectly with our Thing 1 and Thing 2 craft project .

And lastly is a Dr. Seuss word search. This is probably better for older students but any age can try it (I’m sure there are first grade students that would love it!!

• Jefferson loved to read.  He is quoted as saying, “I cannot live without books.”
• Thomas Jefferson lived a very scheduled life.  Each morning, he began his day by soaking his feet in cold water.  He then read his law books, ran two miles, rode his horse, and practiced his violin.
• Even though Jefferson wasn’t a great public speaker, he was an excellent writer .  He put his ideas into written word, which was shared throughout the colonies.
• Because of his known writing abilities, Thomas Jefferson was chosen to write the Declaration of Independence.

• In his pockets, Jefferson carried a variety of items.  Included were a small notebook and pencil, a thermometer, a compass, and a small set of scales for measuring.   Jefferson claimed he never knew what he was going to need, so he carried all of the tools!
