Planning for a study of biographies
As you plan for your unit of study, your first action should be gathering high interest biographies for your students to explore.
These mentor texts should be good, clear examples of biographies. Include your favorites and be sure to include books that will interest your students as well. It’s also a good idea to gather a stack of informational text books that fall under that category of narrative nonfiction. Throughout the unit, you might want to refer to these as nonexamples of biographies.
There are many informational text picture books that are written at a fourth to sixth grade level. This means that you should be able to find some shorter texts that will still challenge your readers. This can be helpful when you want students to explore multiple biographies.

Luci Tapahonso Biography
With the publication of her fourth book of poetry, Sáanii Dahataal: The Women Are Singing (), Luci Tapahonso joined such writers as Joy Harjo, Louise Erdrich, and Leslie Marmon Silko as an important female voice in the American Indian literary landscape. The book demonstrates her versatility and maturity as a writer and brings together the elements of landscape, tradition, and humor that were evident in earlier works.
