Hi! I’m Leo and this is my friend, Sam. We’re going to tell
you about Biographies.
Sam will give you a piece of his cheese if you remember what
we teach you.
Will you get your cheese?
We’ll see . . .
A biography is the story of a
person’s life that is written by
another person.
If I wrote the story of Leo’s
life, it would be called a
biography.
An autobiography is the story of a
person’s life that is written by the person
himself.
If Leo writes the story of his own life, it is
called an autobiography.
Biography = Someone else writes the story of Leo’s life.
Autobiography = Leo writes the story of his own life.
Here are some things you will learn
when you read a biography.
Events that happened in the person’s life.
What the person did that made him famous.
Biography books are placed together
on the same shelves in the library.

It’s time to see if you remember what we have taught you about
biography.
What is the difference between a biography and an
autobiography?
A biography is the story of a person’s life that is written
by someone else.
An autobiography is the story of a person’s life that
is written by the person himself.
Good Job!

letters below the number stand for?

The 3 letters below 92 are the first 3 letters of the last name of the person the book
is about.
