Assignment
Use the attached directions to complete your Snapshot Autobiography. Due Monday, 9/8/14.
1) Take an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper and fold it “accordion” style (like a letter you’d mail), so that it forms 3 panels, or counting front and back, you should have 6 panels.
2) The first panel is the cover for your Snapshot Autobiography.
- Give your autobiography a title (for example, “Snapshots from the life of Kathy”)
- You need to illustrate. (Color & no stick figures)
3) On the back panel write a brief “About the Author” section: include your name, place and date of birth, and anything else you want people of know about you. You may include a self-portrait if you like.
4) This leaves four panels. In the first of these panels, write about your birth. In the other three panels, 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.
- For each 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!
- Illustrate each event with a small, hand-written picture.
