Alphabetical Autobiography

Alphabetical Autobiography

Task:

You will write a 26-page alphabetical autobiography, in the format of an elementary school alphabet book. For example, AA is for Alberton. I was born in Alberton in 1989 and...@

You must write vivid descriptions of events, places, and people of importance in your life.

Each page of your book must contain the following:

$ The letter displayed prominently.
$ A paragraph describing what the letter represents (a word beginning with that letter), and its significance to you.
$ Pictures, images, or decorations to attract the reader=s attention.

Your book should be very visually appealing. Reinforcing your pages with construction paper or other materials works well. You can also use a scrapbook as the base of your book; be sure to decorate the front cover appropriately. You must bind your book; be creative B yarn, brass tacks, and ribbon are some good options.

To get things started, please brainstorm 78 possible topics B 3 for each letter of the alphabet. A list of the 78 possible topics is to be passed in to me by Friday.
