http://olp.swlauriersb.qc.ca/webquest/famous_canadians/process.htm

Extractions: The Process A biography is the story of someone's life. Not only should it describe the events and facts that took place during that person's lifetime, it also tells a good story. A chronological listing of events can reveal a lot of information, but it may not be very interesting to read. Telling the story of someone's life can make for fascinating reading. Along with the members of your newspaper team, decide which categories of endeavours you will include in your newspaper report on famous Canadians. There are many categories from which to choose your famous Canadian. Your famous person may be a scientist, inventor, athlete, author, composer, explorer, musician, hero, or politician to name only a few. A full list of famous Canadian categories can be found at the National Library of Canada website. Choose the Canadian that you will be writing about. With the other members of your team, decide who will be responsible for researching the information in each biography category. Remember that each member of the team will choose a Canadian from a different category so that your newspaper feature will tell the story of Canadians that are famous in different walks of life. Using the Internet resources listed on the Resources page, begin to research the life of your famous Canadian. In the introduction section of your article, you will reveal to the reader the basic facts of your Canadian's life. While it is important for the reader to know when this Canadian lived, where he/she lived, what the background details of his/her life are, this is not the major focus of the biography. The reader will be interested mostly in the story of how and why this Canadian became famous. This story, which will bring your famous Canadian "to life", will be the main focus of your article.
