| CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF A NOTABLE PERSON
In TechnoBiography, students become biographers. They pick a noteworthy figure, hero, scientist, leader or artist to write about their life story. Using a research organizer, they learn about their early years, family, career, achievements, and contributions. |

KICKSTART ESSENTIAL RESEARCH STRATEGIES
Activities promote the research process. Through guided instruction, students begin by gathering basic facts from an encyclopedia. Next, they dig deeper using secondary sources. Afterwards, they collect artifacts directly connected to the person's life to analyze their importance. A research checklist helps students gauge their readiness to write the biography.

| DEVELOP ADVANCED WORD PROCESSING SKILLS
Following detailed assignments, students organize their research into an informative and engaging biography, that includes an interactive media gallery. Students build a professional document with heading styles, table of contents, graphic organizer, table, illustrations, and links. |
| WHAT MAKES THE PERSON SIGNIFICANT?
