G4/5 Autobiographies

Over the last few weeks, G4/5 students have been reading and writing biographies and autobiographies. During EAL, we looked at the structure of these texts and then worked in groups to create rubrics for How to write a good autobiography. 

We thought carefully about what to put in each section of our rubric.

After creating time-lines for our own lives, we used these to write our autobiographies. We then evaluated our own writing using our rubrics, before swapping with a partner to see if their evaluations matched ours. The results were very interesting and we had some great discussions about the structure, accuracy and content of our writing.

We didn't always agree with each other's assessments!
