Materi pokok & uraian konsep pembelajaran

Biographical recounts narrate the life history, struggles, intellectual contributions, and lasting legacies of remarkable individuals. Exploring biographies of national heroes, pioneering scientists, and social entrepreneurs inspires students to cultivate perseverance, empathy, and visionary leadership.

The text follows a tripartite architecture: Orientation (introducing the person's identity, birth, early life, and historical context), Record of Events (a chronological series of milestones, hardships overcome, and major achievements), and Re-orientation (evaluating the historical significance and enduring legacy of the figure).

Language features encompass action verbs in past tenses (*graduated*, *advocated*, *spearheaded*), specific temporal markers (*in 1945*, *throughout her adolescence*), and evaluative adjectives honoring character integrity.
