Amanda Gorman Biography & Close Read Bundle Digital & Print | 3rd & 4th Grade
By Creative Primary Literacy
This bundle has two online activities about the life and career of the National Youth Poet Laureate and reader of 'The Hill We Climb' during the 2021 Inauguration of Joe Biden, Amanda Gorman. The resources are perfect for Distance Learning in third grade or fourth grade, and are ideal for students learning about the U.S. History or for Women's History Month.
Firstly, there is a close reading activity, or informational text, with comprehension and grammar questions followed by an extension task. The resource comes in two formats: a Google Forms document and a printable PDF.
Secondly, there is a biography writing unit. The unit has been split into four separate lessons which will take students approximately 40-50 minutes each. The Google Slides activity is ideal for distance learning. The first lesson is interactive and involves students reading facts, and then sorting and ordering these facts into paragraphs. In the second lesson the children need to use these facts to type four paragraphs. Then, in the third lesson they need to choose the most important facts and include these in an introduction; after this they need to answer several questions before typing up their conclusion. In the final lesson your class will need to check their draft paragraphs before typing up their work on to the template provided. The resource again comes in two formats: a Google Slides document and a printable PDF.
These activities are both online resources that use Google Forms and Google Slides, they are linked to your Google Drive. They can be completed by students online using tablets, phones or computers. The resources also come in a PDF format, which can be printed.
If you are unsure how to allow the students to have their own individual copy take a look at the instructional video below:

Please ensure when you download this resource into Google Drive that you are logged in to the gmail account where you wish to store the activity. In the past teachers have downloaded resources into their school account in error. Thanks :)
