Evidence: Consolidation activity
Stage 1: The person I admire the most
A. What to do?
Write a biography of the person you admire the most. This person can be, for
example, a public figure, a celebrity, a politician, a world leader or someone
close to you, a relative.
Note: The person you choose cannot be the same chosen for Evidence 3
of this learning activity.
B. How to do it?
You need to carry out some research in order to collect the necessary
information for writing the biography. If the person chosen is a public figure,
you can surf the web in order to get the details you are going to include. On
the contrary, if the person chose is someone you know personally, you can set
up an interview in order to ask the person the questions you may have about
his / her life.
Here is an outline we suggest following for writing the biography. We have

chosen Charles Darwin (public figure), an influential scientist of the
nineteenth century, as example for the outline.
Suggested outline
1. Early life and education.
2. Voyage of the Beagle.
3. Darwin's evolutionary theory.
4. Overwork, illness, and marriage.
5. Natural selection.
6. Geology books, barnacles, evolutionary research.
7. Publication of the theory of natural selection.
8. Responses to publication.
9. Descent of man, sexual selection, and botany.
10. Death and funeral.
Stage 2: My admiration for…
A. What to do?
In this section, you will record a tape or video in which you orally present the
person you chose in Section 1. For this part of the evidence you need to
present the biography as well as explain and illustrate the reasons why you
admire this person.
Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana on august 29, 1958. Michael’s father, Joe
Jackson, worked as a crane operator at a steel mill. His mother, Katherine, took care of the
family and sometimes took part time jobs. Both of Michael’s parents loved music. His dad
played guitar for an R&B band and his mother sang and played the piano. Growing up, all
of the Jackson children were encouraged to study music.
Michael was interested in singing at the age of 5, his family were fairly poor. When
Michael’s father saw that his children were talented we made a band of Jackson 5. At the
age of 8 Michael Jackson showed his parent how talented he was and was gifted. Michael
Jackson became the leader and singing leader of the Jackson 5 gang because he was gifted.
While still singing with the Jackson 5, Michael had a number of solo albums. In 1978, he
broke away from the family band and worked on his first “grown up” album.
In 1979, Michael released the album Off the Wall. It was a huge hit and had four top ten
songs including the number one singles “Rock with you” and “Don’t stop ‘till you get
enough”. Michael was now one of the biggest stars in music.
Michael Jackson became more famous and he was called the king of pop. Michael was
married twice. His first marriage was to Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of the famous rock
singer Elvis Presley. His second marriage was to a nursing assistant named Debbie Rowe.
He had two children, Michael Joseph Jackson and Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, with
Debbie before they were divorced. Michael also had a third child, Prince Michael Jackson
II, but the mother’s identity is unknown.
“The king of pop” died on June 25, 2009 at age 50. His death was sudden and unexpected,
leaving many grieving fans wondering what happened. An unidentified man called 911
from Jackson’s California mansion. He reported that Jackson was unconscious and not
breathing. In excerpts from the call, the man said that Michael’s personal doctor was the
only other person present and was performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Argument
I choose Michael Jackson, because he is one of the most influential artists in the
world. Despite the negative things that the media said about him. Michael was a
great man as he helped the children of the world, donating millions of dollars to
foundations.
I admire his music since some have the way of taking care of the world.
