Theme: THE LIVES OF OTHERS: TEACHING MEMOIR, BIOGRAPHY, AND AUTOBIOGRAPHY
What can students learn from biographies about history, about the world, about themselves? How does the study of exceptional lives, from the picture book Six Dots: A Story of the Young Louis Braille by Jen Bryant to Sonia Sotomayor’s My Beautiful Life, inspire young readers to work toward lofty goals of their own? What memoirs, biographies, or autobiographies do you choose to put in your students’ hands and how do you invite them to respond to the lives of others?
