Our class will be writing an autobiography ( a book about you) for homework this year.
There will be an assignment each month. Each assignment will be due by the last school day of the month. The assignment may be turned early if it is ready.
We will be practicing many different writing skills at school this year. You should use the skills you have learned at school when writing at home. Your parents may help give you ideas about what to write. Ask them to proofread your work, but you should proofread it first so they can't find any mistakes!
The length of each assignment is up to you and your parents. If writing is hard for you, each chapter may be only a short paragraph. If you enjoy writing, your chapter could be much longer.
Assignments must be hand written by you in your own words. Each page should be 8 1/2" wide and 11" in length.
A homework assignment sheet will be sent home at the beginning of each month with questions to help stir your imagination and help you think of things to write. You may write about anything that relates to the chapter topic.
