autobiography, the teacher and the class need to have some discussions.
They should discuss the differences between a biography and an
autobiography. In addition, they can talk about how the story was
organized. It will help, too, if they list what kind of information was
included in the autobiography. Last, the teacher needs to have the
students talk about what they liked learning about the person they read

writing. Each student should start on his or her own biography. This
should be a positive experience that allows the students to share the
important events of their lives.The teacher needs to share her
expectations for the students autobiographies. An example of how the
autobiography should be set up is helpful for the students to see. For

the teacher can require additional things in the assignment such as a

students should include things that make them unique. In addition,
students should also include favorite things such as favorite friends,
relatives, music, colors, television shows, movies, foods, etc. Other

firsts, first friend, first school, first lost tooth, first teacher,
etc. More reference links: www.scholastic.com teachers.net
