Autobiographical Stuff

This week you're going to complete a couple short autobiographical items. Writing can be difficult and writing about yourself is sometimes the most difficult. We've tried to come up with something unique for you to express yourself in a couple different ways. You'll see two items in this assignment. 

The first is called a "Six Word Memoir" and you can see what it's about HERE. Essentially, you are describing yourself in six words. We'd like to see you follow this template in creating your Six Word Memoir:

1. Take about 2 minutes and write a list of words that describe or pertain to you 

2. Choose two or three words you think you can write about

3. Pick one and free write about it in more detail

4. Turn your writing into a six word phrase or slogan

5. Add your slogan (with pictures, fonts, graphics, color) to a new Slide on the group Slideshow.

The second piece is writing about an achievement - big or small - that you feel is a representation of who you are:

Think of a time when you achieved a personal goal - you might have won an athletic event, or might have gotten a higher score on a test, or you might have learned how to do something new. Tell your readers about the story of how you met your goal. Be sure your readers understand why the goal was important to you. 

Remember to include a (1.) Hook, (2.) Conflict, (3.) Dialogue and develop the plot/story with a clear (4.) Beginning, Middle and End.

And here are the results from last week's This or That Poll. 97 Votes as of Tuesday night
