Very often young students’ first creative-writing experiences are based on the subject they know best—themselves. As students grow older, they continue to enjoy writing about themselves. It is surprising how analytical some can become and how well they understand themselves. On the other hand, some students do not see themselves the way others see them. Some older students, especially those who do not have the so-called “perfect” home life, may have a tendency to gloss over or misrepresent perceived unpleasant situations in order to appear more “normal.” Some shy students may find autobiographical writing difficult because they feel self conscious about revealing their private thoughts, ideas, and life experiences. Guided by a sensitive and mature teacher, these students can greatly benefit from autobiographical writing. They can be led to understand themselves and their worlds better.
This unit uses students’ own personal experiences to encourage creativity. It leads them step by step through the writing of an autobiographical story. Young authors will be extra proud of their creations!
