Use this biography booklet to help your students organise and present information about any person in a structured, engaging format.
Present Student Research in a Biography Booklet
When introducing a new text type to students, it’s essential to use scaffolds that support their understanding of its structural elements. As students gain confidence and familiarity with these features, the level of support can be gradually reduced until they no longer need it.
This biography booklet template has been designed by our expert teacher team to help your students research and write a biography on a person of their choice. The student biography template contains six A4-sized pages in landscape orientation. Each page includes two mini-book pages (twelve pages in total). This printable information report template includes:
- A title page
- Who are they?
- Early life
- Education
- Major life events
- Achievements
- Challenges
- Later life and legacy
- Famous quotes
- Fun facts
The biography booklet contains space for both written and visual information (such as drawings and labelled diagrams).
This biography booklet template downloads as a printable PDF and an editable Google Slides document. If you wish your students to complete the activity digitally, simply delete the writing lines and add a text box for your students to type in.
This biography booklet is the perfect way to turn student work into a published-style booklet, making learning more engaging and rewarding.
