Write a biography. Use the following steps as a guide. 1. Interview one of your parents about a grandparent's life story.
2. Make a list of the sequence of events in the person's life. Limit the number of events to five or six. Save this list.
3. Be sure to include when and where the person was born and tell something about his childhood. Begin with this part, unless there is an exciting part you want to start with; if so, you may use the flashback technique.
4. If possible, include an interesting experience this person had sometime in his life.
5. Refer to your list and write an introductory paragraph about the subject of your biography.
6. Write one paragraph about each event in your list.
7. Write an ending paragraph that tells the most important thing to remember about your grandparent.
8. Be sure you use correct grammar, spelling, usage, and capitalization before you show your work to your teacher.
9. Your completed biography should be at least 400 words long.
