Biographies

This week we have been learning about biographies, in particular, the life of Mae Jemison, the first African-American woman to go to space.

Your task this week is to find some facts about a famous person of your choice. We will be writing about them in class next week. Write your information onto the planning sheet given to you by your teacher and remember to just write in note form.

If you're struggling to think of someone, try finding out about;
  • your favourite author
  • a musician or singer that you like
  • your favourite actor
  • your favourite person from history
  • someone you admire
Here are a few examples;

Tim Peake

Roald Dahl

David Beckham
