How to write a biographical sketch
Choose a figure who interests you.
Start by checking your assignment's guidelines. They might require you to stick to a historical period, part of the world, or academic field.
Browse textbooks, articles, and websites about the broader topic, and look for a figure who's life appeals to you. For example, suppose you need to write a biographical sketch of poet who lived in the 19th century.
