Through discussion, we noted that a biography is a real story about a real person's life written by someone else. An autobiography is also a real story about a real person's life but it is written by that person, not someone else.
In starting this unit, we began looking at a biography about Lou Gehrig, the baseball player from the New York Yankees. Students have read, discussed and analyzed the story thoroughly. It is great to see the questions they come up with and the information they want to learn (although they do think I know everything about everyone lol).
