Autobiography project
Due Wednesday, January 16th
You will be writing your very own autobiography, describing your own life story in unblemished detail. This autobiography will include an introduction, body and conclusion (explained in detail below). It will be used in your computer class as well for Ms. Acosta's website project. I can't wait to learn more about all of you as you continue to expand your writing skills!
Story map
You will need to interview a parent to get details about your birth and specific memories. Use this info to create a story map, mapping out in short details, the information below:
Introduction: Your first years, 2-3 paragraphs
P1: Include details such as a pregnancy story of your moms, your place of birth, the story of your birth, your first year.
P2: Where you lived and grew up, details of the members of your family and first friends.
Body: Childhood, 2-3 paragraphs
P1: Summary of years 5-10
P2: A narrative story, explaining one childhood memory in detail, using descriptive language.
Conclusion: Present day, 2-3 paragraphs
P1: Describe your life now.
P2: Talk about your plans for the future.
Make sure to use figurative language and new vocabulary as you write. Don't be intimidated by the length, each paragraph will be due separately, and we will spend a lot of time making sure every detail is correct and well written.

Body Worlds
I hope you are all enjoying your week of no homework :) I am sure you are all being responsible and studying every night so you can do great on your midterms.
If you want to go to Body Worlds after your last exam on Thursday, December 20th at 2pm, please confirm with a parent and bring in a signed slip saying that you can go. If a parent wants to accompany you, they are more than welcome. Remember, this is not a school field trip, so you are all responsible to provide your own transportation, and bring the money (360 pesos) when you arrive at Agora Mall at the Body Worlds exhibit on the first floor. If you want to bring any extra money for food after it is your choice. I hope to see you all there.
PS- Remember I am collecting toys for Christmas presents for children at a local orphanage, so if you have any toys, or even kids clothes that you no longer use, please bring it in and spread some Christmas cheer to those in need!
