Auto Biographies
By SRH

A teacher in our school did this project with our Gifted/Talented kids and it worked great. Each student had to bring in pictures from various eras of their life. First, they created a Life Map (timeline) of their life. Then,
they used the pictures and information from the Life Maps to create a brochure about their life. On the front, they put their most recent picture. The title was, "The Life and Times of ..." Inside, they started with infancy and carried it through until today. They listed accomplishments, interests, and etc. It was a fresh take on Auto Bios. I suppose this could work for Biographies,

too. The students could create their own Life Maps and bring in pictures. You could assign each student a partner to interview and create a brochure or Bio. about that person's life. I hope this helps. Let me know how it works, if you choose to try it.
