Description

Welcome to the wonderful world of biographies and memoirs! In this lesson, we’ll be learning all about these two writing styles. Biographies are written accounts of someone’s life, while memoirs are first-hand accounts of someone’s experiences. Both styles are fascinating to read, and can teach us a lot about the people who wrote them.

This lesson will introduce you to the structure of biographies and memoirs. We’ll learn what information is typically included in these types of books, and what we can learn from reading them. You’ll also get the chance to write your own chapter of a memoir! So grab a pen and some paper, and let’s get started.
