Today, our amazing Grade 4 students took a deep dive into the lives of two inspiring figures, Albert Einstein and Amelia Earhart.
As part of their English lesson on biography writing, the students researched key facts, achievements, and life events of both historical icons. The goal was to help them understand how biographies are structured, how to include meaningful details, and what makes a person’s life story truly memorable.
Working in pairs, they explored online sources and videos to gather important information, developing their skills in note-taking, summarizing, and organizing ideas. By learning about the brilliant mind of Einstein and the daring adventures of Earhart, they also gained a deeper appreciation for the qualities that make someone remarkable.
This activity not only helped students recognize the features of a great biography but also served as inspiration for writing their own autobiographies in the coming weeks.
Well done, Grade 4, you’re on your way to becoming fantastic writers and researchers!
