Autobiography
Final Draft Due November 3

Autobiography (Final Copy Due November 3rd)
Please click on this link to open Signal Words and Sentence Frames.
Please click on this link to open the Narrative Writing document.
You will use 3 of the 5 functions of language within your autobiography.
Watch this video after Mr. Green-Hite's presentation. It will help fill in the holes for anything you may have forgotten. It will also help if you missed today's class.

Here is a presentation that breaks down how to piece a paragraph together. This is just an example for an introduction. It is not a full paragraph, but I underlined language from the Elaboration/Description Function...since I chose that function for this paragraph. Remember, you are doing 5 paragraphs for your rough draft...not just an introduction.

Once you are done with your rough draft, go back through and highlight in yellow the key words and/or sample sentence frames you used to create each of your paragraphs. Remember to upload it into Google when you are done for the day, but keep it's Word formatting.

When you have highlighted everything, Copy and paste your paragraphs below your rough draft to create your 5-paragraph autobiography. Make spelling and grammar corrections at this time. Once again, upload it back into Google, but still don't share it with me.
