Using a Biography for Sequencing, Central Idea and Details

Students use biographies to practice finding the central idea, relevant details, and putting events in chronological order/sequence. To do this, students in small groups will read a biography of Amelia Earhart and then create a timeline of the major events of her life using the information in the book. They will also complete a biographical outline.
