Instructional Ideas

• Have kids create biopoems with characters from the book, or with characters from other books that relate to the same themes
• Encourage kids to share their biopoems in front of the class and decorate them for an art walk

Classroom Considerations

• The background of the resource is a colored illustration, which could affect understanding
• Does not provide many directions, and because the resource is written by a student teacher, the purpose of the assignment is a little wordy

Pros

• Versatile for numerous novels, stories, and getting-to-know-you activities
• Engaging for learners of all reading levels

Cons

• None
