For students who are uncomfortable sharing information about themselves, there is also the choice to complete an alphabiography about a hero, or other person.

It's Alphabiography time again....
Eighth graders are working on their alpha autobiographies now. This a great writing assignment that allows me to get to know my students even better. Basically, students are creating a ten page packet of one-page essays about themselves. They began by brainstorming events of their lives and things that make them who they are. When they are done brainstorming, they will select ten events, and assign a letter of the alphabet. (For example: S=soccer) Students will work on this project during class time and can use Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Imovie or some other (approved) media.
