Peer Biography

This peer biography could be used at any time of the year. I’ve used this when teaching informative writing, as a getting to know you activity at the beginning of the school year, and when teaching a unit on biographies. Includes both printable pages and digital slides.

This resource includes:

• 8 Questionnaires: Introduction, Home Life, Hobbies & Interests, Besties, Accomplishments, Hopes & Dreams, Fun Facts, Favorites at a Glance
• Notes pages to record additional information or to draft
• Biography cover
• Table of Contents (one with headings and one blank template)
• 6 Publishing pages/slides with headings (Meet… Home Sweet Home, Hobbies & Interests, Besties, Sweet Success, Hopes and Dreams), Blank template included
• Additional lined paper/slides (with and without photo template and headings, full sheet and half sheet lined paper)
• Photo collage pages (3) Students could include as many of these pages as they’d like and include photos or illustrations.

The pages in this resource are all in black and white (easy on your printer). I especially liked printing this resource. The kids made the books with good old-fashioned paper and pencil. They included photos and illustrations. They decorated the pages and added color. Each book came out really nice and was printed, bound, and added to our classroom library.

I’ve also included a link to use this resource digitally in Google Slides. You’ll be prompted to make a copy. There are lots of ways to customize this. Students can insert their choice of font style, size, and color, insert pictures, and images, and duplicate or delete slides. Text boxes are included. You can save, share, and present published biographiees.

This is a digital download (PDF) of a printable resource but it also includes a link to a digital version of this resource in Google Slides.

Enjoy From My Classroom To Yours!
