SUMMARY:NATIONAL BIOGRAPHERS DAY
DESCRIPTION:This post, National Biographers Day, may contain affiliate links, which means Happy Hive Homeschooling may receive a commission, at no extra cost to you, if you make a purchase through a link. Please see our full disclosure for further information.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHome ( https://happyhivehomeschooling.com/ ) » What is Today’s Holiday?\n\n\nBiographies began a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… no wait that’s a different Holiday! The truth of the matter is Biographies existed as far back in history as 44 BC when Cornelius Nepos wrote a lengthy biography on the most famous generals of the Greeks and Romans. \n\n\n\nJames Boswell’s writing style changed the future of the biography forever. The standard was set, and a new way to tell a story was born. The book was published in 1789 and during those times, they considered it to be one of the best biographies in the English Language! \n\n\n\nSince then there have been many, many biographies written. Different authors write biographies about the same person. Think about someone like Abraham Lincoln. Search Abraham Lincoln Biography, how many come up? (Go ahead, I’ll be here when you get back) \n\n\n\nI often get the question when working with families homeschooling about how to “get the kids to write”. This question is very similar to the “How do I get my kids to read more” question. Assuming there are no underlying challenges like dysgraphia or other processing disorders, the way you get kids to write is the same way you get them to read – by exposing them to good writing. They need a MODEL. They need something that INSPIRES them. Kids are not writing because it bores them. \n\n\n\nCelebrate National Biographers Day by reading well-crafted Biographies – then try your hand at writing one of your own. \n\n\n\nUse our FREE Biography Writing Template Pack\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA few biographies we recommend:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCan’t celebrate this year – Mark your calendar & save this holiday for next year!\n\n\n\nYou can also pin the image below to your Pinterest boards to save this fantastic holiday!\n\n\n\n
