About this ebook
The ‘Creative Writing Tutor’ scheme provides a lively series of themed booklets that will stimulate your child’s imagination and inspire him or her to write in a more interesting way and to achieve better results. The booklets provide ‘a tutor’ for the child, fun features and stories to read, follow up activities to complete, harder vocabulary to prepare children for more advanced writing and many helpful tips and techniques to improve writing style.
Written by an experienced teacher, they are recommended for use at school or at home by children aged 9-13 years, of all abilities. They are excellent for stretching fast workers and able writers or preparing for writing tasks in 11+ examinations. In this volume - Looking at People's Lives - we learn about writing non-fiction, including biographical works.

Let’s learn to write non-fiction.
When you write non-fiction, you may write:
a newspaper report
an information leaflet
instructions
a diary entry.
a biography
an autobiography
You must decide:
Who will be my target audience?
Who will read this writing?
What is the purpose of my writing?
You may be writing to inform your reader. Information writing will include facts (points that are true) and opinions (points the writer considers to be right and wants you to believe.
Biography
Use a non-fiction writing plan to write a biography.
PARAGRAPH 1
Introduce the subject or the person you’re writing about.
PARAGRAPH 2, 3, 4...
Make point one: the person’s childhood
Make point two: his or her adult life
Make point three: achievements he or she is remembered for.
Organise your writing. Write the points in a logical order as they happened.
Conclusion
Comment again about the main points. As the writer, you can add your opinions saying what you think.
Remember:
Use connectives or conjunctions:

or, so, if, when, while, after, before, because, unless, until, whereas, although (to join complex sentences)
use pronouns - who, which, whose, what, that
