Autobiographies
By Mandy

Clip to ScrapBook   
Another teacher shared this book with me and I loved it. I am doing a mini unit on autobiographies and we have been reading this aloud as an example. What we have done is write our own autobiographies. We made this a short
ad simple writing assignment using a graphic organizer. Another teacher shared this idea and I really liked it. Then the students will create a "nounster" (like monster). They will write the nounsters autobiography (this is a good time to talk about point of view) and the organizer i gave them was almost identical to the organizer they had used with the autobiography. They are writing
about description, hobbies, family and job, I think. Then they will create their nounster with construction paper and tissue paper and felt and so on. Then we will identify nouns they used in their writing (this is where the noun part came from!!). I thought this activity lent itself to the season very well. Hope this helps!!
