how do you write a thesis statement in a biography?

The elements of a bio statement vary according to its purpose. It should contain at least: * Tell who you are, by name * Give any credentials (degrees) or special schooling you have, especially if it relates to the reason you are making the bio Example: You are a writer and graduated with a Masters in English * Name the school/s if that would add to your background * Tell what about you makes you the expert, a trained eye, great in your field * City and State where you live, or a region (Northwest Canada) * Who lives with you

• as a personal touch * Pets, if you feel like mentioning them --

mostly used as a softening touch * Anything you want to say about your creative, humorous, educated, knowledgeable self Humorous biOS are the most fun to read. However, the majority are straight-forward bits of facts, shaped into 2 or 3 SHORT paragraphs. BiOS are used in almost every field now. Types include: * Academic - Professors, teachers, principals * Colleges - might ask for a student bio * Writers - used on the jacket cover of books and in promotional materials * Hospitals about their doctors - promotes the expertise of Staff * Companies - About their Executives, CEOs, Presidents, and possibly Employees * Speakers - to give an audience information - why should someone pay attention to this person's speech * And, any person wanting to market his or her expertise in a certain area. Ever wonder about a Company Website or a Website Author? Look for the bio and / or mission statement on the site. BiOS should be short (pithy) and describe positive details about the person. Try to be creative; too many biOS start with "John Smith was born on such and such date, in such and such city, State. He attended such and such University, earning a degree in..." Make your bio stand out, grab the reader's attention. Include an unusual fact (if it also relates to why you need the bio). Posted by: Lifes
