I tried the ABC Autoboigraphy in my class this year and they were great! What I did was made one page for each letter of the alphabet. It statred like this....A is for __________________________ and my third graders | filled in what A stood for, but it had to be relevant to their life! They then added a sentence or two at the bottom of the page describing it in detail. Then in the middle of the page, they had to illustrate it. It took a long time for my third graders to get this done, but it was something they worked on when they finished their morning work or test early. I had to model my ABC Autobiography | |
too. I modeled many, many, many times so that they understood that the letter had to be relevant to them! My book started out...A is for Artichokes. They are my favorite vegetables that I eat on pizza. Then I drew a pizza with artichokes in colored pencils and markers. Then moved onto the next page. i had to really enforce that I did not just pick any old word to fit A. I think if I were to have done it with an older class, it might have been a bit easier. Good Luck!
