Writers Workshop While engaging in the processes of researching, writing, and evaluating
short biographical sketches, students can master essential writing
skills and enhance their content area learning. In this lesson, fourth
grade students discuss standard elements in a biography and examine the
characteristics of the genre in a workshop setting. After selecting and
researching a contemporary or historical figure using online databases,
students practice writing short biographies. They then offer feedback on
others' compositions and publish final drafts for reading aloud and
displaying in class.While engaging in the processes of researching, writing, and evaluating short biographical sketches, students can master essential writing skills and enhance their content area learning.
