Autobiography Title:___________________________________________________

Directions: For each topic, write a paragraph and describe the illustration you will create
to represent that section.

Additional Tips:

In the first paragraph, write about your birth or when you became a family with who you live
with now. In the other three paragraphs, you are going to write about important events that have
shaped you as a person. This means that you are selecting a total of three important events
(besides your birth) from your life.

• You will be interviewing another person about one of these events, ​so make sure to pick at
least one event that someone else knows about.

• For each of these three events, write a narrative (story) describing what happened. Make sure
you describe it from start to finish. Pretend that someone who doesn’t know you will be reading
your story and trying to understand it. ​Be sure to include details!

• Explain how you plan to illustrate each event in the adjacent open space on the right.
