Digital Biographies Topic for Year 6 Literacy

Lately we've used this for thr focus of our Biographies Topic in Year 6 Literacy. The Children craft the biography in Literacy time while in ICT we build the timeline based on where their sources were based. This included youtube, wikipedia and news sites such as Newsround at the BBC. They then pasted the links, content and locations (dipity has a fabulously easy mapping link) to their timelines. The example below is the life of Tony Hawk the skater made by Kai in year 6. You can see that the time line is centered on his birth. The next time we use this will be on Explorers and Advernturers mapping their journeys.
