Let's outliine that biography!

Hi everybody -

Most people brought their biography notes to class last week (and some people even brought the whole biography! wow!). Now I'd like you to use those notes to prepare an outline about the person you researched. Please look at page 128 in the BrainQuest book to remind yourself how to outline your biography. You can divide up the information you found in any way you like. For example:

I. Paragraph 1 - Introduce John Lennon
a. birthplace, birthdate
b. brief story of childhood
c. first experience with music

II. Paragraph 2 - the Beatles
a. band members
b. date started/finished
c. famous songs and world wide popularity

III. Paragraph 3 - Solo
a. Yoko Ono
b. famous songs
c. peace activities

IV. Paragraph 4 - conclusion
a. death
b. popularity today
c. how he contributed to music and society

Then, if you still have time, go ahead and write the topic sentences for each paragraph. That will give you a good base to go on to finish your biography next week. Please bring your outline to class next week.

ALSO, let's knock off a couple of pages in that BrainQuest book - pages 27 and 66. If you have already finished those pages (Angus?!), you can work in the science section - pages 290, 291, 292, and 293.

See you Saturday!
