Alexander
Graham Bell
Famous Faces Task
He was born in Wales on 13th
September 1916. His father died
when he was 3 years old and he
was brought up by his mother.
He was quite unhappy at
boarding school which gave him
inspiration for some of his
stories.
Anne Frank
Famous Faces Task
I don’t think I shall ever really feel at home
in this house, but that does not mean that I
loathe it here, it is more like being on
vacation in a very peculiar boarding house…
The Secret Annexe is an ideal hiding place.
Although it leans to one side and is damp,
you'd never find such a comfortable hiding
place anywhere in Amsterdam, not even in
the whole of Holland. Our little room perhaps
looked bare at first with nothing on the
walls; but thanks to Daddy who had brought
my film star collection and postcards
beforehand and with aid of paste, pot and
brush, I have transformed the walls into one
gigantic picture.

Success Criteria
Biographies
A biography gives facts about a person’s life. It
is not written by the subject of the book but by
an author who has done their research and
knows a great deal about that person.
Biographies are written in the third person and
can be written about someone who is no longer
alive.
A biography is a life story written in chronological
order.
It can include information about when and where
the subject was born, their childhood, important
events in their lives including information about
what they did or achieved.
If the person is no longer alive, it may include
information about when and how they died.
Other Important Features of a
Biography
The biography may also include direct
quotes from the subject or quotes from
others about the subject.
What Does the Prefix ‘Auto’ Mean?
Autobiographies
An autobiography is different to a biography
because it is written in the first person,
explaining important events in their life. The
subject may write about what has influenced
them and include details of their feelings
during different experiences they have had.
Autobiographies are primary historical sources
of information whereas biographies are
secondary sources.
‘Auto’ means ‘self’ therefore an autobiography is self-written. It is an
account of someone’s life, written by the person themselves, in
chronological order.
To remember the
difference … auto = self
Biographical or Autobiographical Writing?
How do you know?
Quick Quiz
He was born and
grew up in London,
moving to France at
the age of 13.
He died at the age
of 98, with his
family at his
bedside.
I never enjoyed writing
until I met my idol,
Jacqueline Wilson, who
ignited my interest.
Dancing became my passion. I would dance every day
and used to get angry and frustrated when I was told
off for practising in the living room. I think my mother
was always more concerned about me knocking over
her priceless ornaments..
‘‘She never could sit
still at school!’’ was
the comment made
by Mrs Alice Hall, an
old teacher of hers.

I am crying. I am a Sheffield schoolgirl writing in her
diary about the bullies awaiting me tomorrow. They
stand menacingly by the gates and lurk unseen in my
head, mocking my size and status. They make a small girl
shrink, and I feel insecure and frightened.
I pour the feelings out into words on the page, as if
exposing them in some way will help, but nobody sees my
diary. It is kept in my room as a hidden tale of hurt. Fast
forward two decades and I am crying again. I am
standing in a cavernous arena in London. Suddenly, the
pain and suffering and frustration give way to a flood of
overwhelming emotion.
