Each student will be writing an autobiography (a book about you) this year. There will be an assignment each month, which will be due by the last school day of the month. The assignment may be turned in early if it is ready.
We will be practicing many different writing skills at school this year. Students should use the skills they learn at school when writing at home. Parents may help give ideas about what to write. Students, ask parents to proofread your work, but you should proofread it first so they can't find any mistakes!
The length of each assignment is up to the student and parents. If writing is challenging for your child, each chapter may be only a short paragraph. If your child enjoys writing, each chapter could be much longer. Assignments must be hand written by students in their own words. Each page should be no more than 8 1/2" wide and 11" in length.
A homework assignment sheet will be sent home with questions to help stir the imagination and brainstorm writing ideas. Students may write about anything that relates to the assigned topic.
September: Title page
October: When you were born
November: Pre-school years
December: Family
January: Holiday memories
February: Talents and/or hobbies
March: Favorite things
April: School years
May: Your future
