Hi! I’m Leo and this is my friend, Sam. We’re going to tell you about Biographies. Sam will give you a piece of his cheese if you remember what we teach you. Will you get your cheese? We’ll see...

A biography is the story of a person’s life that is written by another person. If I wrote the story of Leo’s life, it would be called a biography.

An autobiography is the story of a person’s life that is written by the person himself. If Leo writes the story of his own life, it is called an autobiography.

Collective Biography When the book is about more than one person it is called a collective biography and is given the Dewey number 920. The last 3 letters are then given with the authors last name.

Biography = Someone else writes the story of Leo’s life. Autobiography = Leo writes the story of his own life.

Here are some things you will learn when you read a biography. Events that happened in the person’s life. What the person did that made him famous.

Biography books are placed together on the same shelves in the library. 92 DIS 92 FRA 92 WAS The Life of Walt Disney The Diary of Anne Frank George Washington’s Life That’s because they have the same Dewey number: 92.

The first part of the call number for biography is 92. What do you think the 3 letters in the second part of the call number stand for? 92 DIS 92 FRA 92 WAS The Life of Walt Disney The Diary of Anne Frank George Washington’s Life Watch out! This is a tricky question. Hmmm, DIS, FRA, and WAS.

Those 3 letters represent the person the book is about. They are the first 3 letters of the person’s last name. 92 DIS 92 FRA 92 WAS The Life of Walt Disney The Diary of Anne Frank George Washington’s Life That’s right! Wow! The person the book is about?

92 DIS 92 FRA 92 WAS The Life of Walt Disney The Diary of Anne Frank George Washington’s Life DIS stands for Disney. FRA stands for Frank. WAS stands for Washington. Remember, 92 is the Dewey number for biography.

Let’s see how well you are doing? What is the Dewey call number for a biography about Jim Bridger? 92 BRI If you said the first part of the call number is 92, you are right! What’s next? The letters BRI are next. They are the first 3 letters of the last name of the person the book is about.

92 COL That was great! Now figure out the call number for a biography about each of the following people: 92 LIN Abraham Lincoln Betsy Ross 92 ROS Christopher Columbus Susan B. Anthony 92 ANT

It’s time to see if you remember what we have taught you about biography. What is the difference between a biography and an autobiography?

A biography is the story of a person’s life that is written by someone else. An autobiography is the story of a person’s life that is written by the person himself. Good Job!

Here’s another question for you! What is the Dewey number for biography, and what do the 3 letters below the number stand for?

The Dewey number for biography is 92. The 3 letters below 92 are the first 3 letters of the last name of the person the book is about. You Are Awesome!

Sam, do you think these students have earned a piece of your cheese? You’ll see...

SUPER JOB!
