Non-fiction:  Biographies and Autobiographies

In this unit, children examine the difference between biography and autobiography initially linked to material about Jeremy Strong. They then use material about the author Anthony Horowitz to practise note-taking and plan an author blurb for a book. They adapt this into a biographical presentation about him, using PowerPoint or another presentation tool.
