This activity is an online resource, that uses Google Slides, and is linked to your Google Drive. It can be completed by students online using tablets or computers. If you are unsure how to allow the students to have their own individual copy take a look at the instructional video below:

Google Classroom - How to make a copy for each student - Assignment

The resource also comes in a PDF format, which can be printed.

If you would like to add another online lesson, download the Martin Luther King 5th Grade & 6th Grade Close Reading Activity | Digital & Print*. This would give the students more background knowledge before they start writing the biography. It comes in Google Forms and PDF formats for distance learning, or for printing.*

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 :)
