• Tell where and when the person you are talking about was born. Do not give too many details about his/her childhood years, family, especially if that does not relate to things he/she used to do later.
• Say a few words about the early life of your character. What kind of person was your character? Did he/she know what to do in the future?
• Now, you can pass to the findings and contributions of your character. Explain in your biography book report in what ways your character changed the world, why his/her findings were important, etc.
• Finally, explain why this particular person inspires you and why you have picked him/her as the main character of your biography book report. Why and what should everyone else know about this person?
