Biography outline example for kids

A biography (sometimes called a bio) is a nonfiction account of someone’s life.

The bare bones of a bio will usually include their date of birth, essential aspects of their life, and their current impact on society (whether they are still alive or have since passed).

However, biographies are much more than just a list of facts about a person.

They intend to pull you into their lives, telling you intimate details about their relationships, work, personality, and hobbies – you leave having a greater understanding of who they are or were. What was it like to be their friend?

What was it like to be married to them?
