Athletes and Sports Figures Biography Trifold Brochures

Description

This set of trifold brochures features 28 diverse athletes and sports figures. These brochures are a perfect way to ensure your students are keeping their information organized and focusing on the most important aspects of the person they’re studying. This activity is great for biography projects and can easily serve as a note-taking tool for an essay or presentation. It can also serve as the biography project itself! The brochures are perfect for integrating literacy into other subjects, especially social studies. Students will not only benefit from the experience of learning about these diverse figures, but they’ll practice their mapping and timeline skills as well. The brochures allow students to go beyond reading to really interact with the chosen text as they determine which facts are relevant.

This set of trifold brochures is also great for lessons about growth mindset and physical education classes. Several of the featured athletes are also former or current Olympians, so the set would fit nicely with an Olympics unit or lesson as well.

Each trifold brochure has space for the following information about each figure:
•Picture
•Lifespan
•Important people in their lives
•Childhood (how and when did they grow up?)
•Education & career
•Challenges they faced
•Major life events (includes timeline component)
•Where are/were they from? (includes mapping component)

•What lesson(s) can you learn from them?
