Description

Biography Templates and Graphic Organizers – Digital and Paperless

Your students will love writing a biography report with this paperless Google Slides resource. Students will choose a person to research and then complete the slides with the information they have learned. Students will type directly into Google slides to complete the project. The slides are not editable. I did insert text boxes on the slides in every place that students need to type. You can delete them if you want. The preview shows most of the pages but not every one.
