This KS2 Ordering a Biography activity is ideal for teaching children about the features of writing a biography. The resource has been differentiated six ways to meet all your children's needs. In preparation for this lesson the biography needs cutting up into strips. Then children can use their knowledge and understanding of biographies to put it back into the correct order.

The biography could also be used as a model text to explore the key features of a biography. Use this resource during your biographies topic or when celebrating Burns Night.
