In Personal Narrative Essay, students develop their writing skills in a longer project that is as ambitious as it is fun. The chapter autobiography provides a really unique, guided opportunity for students to tackle a longer form project, allowing young writers to gain confidence and stretch their abilities in a way that simply can't be replicated by the shorter compositions they are typically assigned at school.

Program Objectives

In learning to research and write an autobiography, students are exposed to a diverse array of texts. They learn the basics of writing a research paper: consideration of sources, the weighing and presenting evidence, documentation, and analysis. These skills are critical for success in high school English and History classes. Finally, a small component of the class also exposes students to the critical thinking skills required for standardized test prep.
