Product description
From the author
This resource is a My Mini Autobiography | Printable & Digital Activity.
This is a fun beginning of the year project that serves several purposes at once:
• It allows you to get to know your students quickly.
• It gives you a quick glimpse of each child’s writing skills.
• It allows them to write and share about themselves to their peers in a way that might not happen in natural conversation, therefore building community quickly.
How to Use:
• Have students title their “Mini Autobiography” and write their name on the by line.
• If being used at the beginning of the year, I suggest telling students to just write without thinking too much about spelling and grammar. Let them just be free to write about themselves.
• The square at the bottom is for a “selfie.” 😊
• I like to bind all the Mini Autobiographies into a class book to keep for the year and share from.
The supplied access PDF mentions Google Slides, but it does not contain a functioning link. Use the printable pages until a working digital link is available.
