Peer Biography Project

✨ Classmate Interview ✨ Peer Biography: ✅ Use with Any Biography Report (Nonfiction Writing Project + Nonfiction Text Structures) Kick off your school year with this engaging writing activity! Students interview classmates to craft peer biographies, building community while assessing writing skills on the first day of class.

​

Students are paired off into partnerships using my Pick a Pair: Match Cards. From there, students learn to interview, take notes, organize, and refine their data. They work together with the partner to clarify questions, assign character traits, and support those traits with experiences.

This activity includes anchor charts, interview questions, graphic organizers, draft pages, peer edits, and writing checklists. It is also editable through Google Slides so you can customize it to your needs! This always ends up being a favorite activity. Students love the opportunity to talk about themselves, and often end the project with a new friend that they may not have had otherwise!

I like to display the biographies with a mixed media art project, which can be done digitally or by hand! In the past, I’ve even had the partnership design an avatar to represent their partner. The art project, though it looks complex, is really simple and creates a really beautiful display!

We print off the portrait and hang the biography with it in a hallway display for students to read and enjoy! I include links to my favorite student-friendly, create-an-avatar sites in the product.
