F scott fitzgerald biography worksheet 6th

Skip the typical F. Scott Fitzgerald introduction lecture and empower students to find their own interesting facts about this Jazz Age writer’s life as you launch a study of The Great Gatsby with this “Author Bio” print/post-and-teach activity.

This single-page worksheet (includes both PDF & Google Drive versions) is a powerful research organizer that’ll get students digging deep into Fitzgerald’s background.

Please note: This download does NOT include a specific article or links to defined articles.

It is an organizer tool for students to use as they conduct their own research. In my experience, students take more ownership of the material when they are the ones to research and discover the elements that make a literary figure’s life fascinating.

They’ve seen enough of our introductory slideshows; this time, let your kids do the work and discuss/determine what they think is meaningful about this author’s life.

Here are a few suggested uses for this flexible research tool:
