Autobiography: An account of a person’s life written by that person: He gives a vivid description of his childhood in his autobiography.
• How do you know the story of your birth?
• What evidence do you have to back your story?
• How might someone else remember this story?
You will be looking to find a parent of someone that can tell you about your birth story or other story you choose. Please follow the directions and take notes in class so you are able to add this to your notebook. Use the button below to download the handout to start the project.
Questions for the end to answer in your notebook:
• Why did students choose certain events and not others? What made some events
more important or memorable than others?
• Was it difficult to select events? Why or why not?
• What types of evidence would be necessary to corroborate that your selected event
actually happened?
• What happened when you asked someone about the event? Did they agree with
your version? Did they remember things differently?

Yeah. You are trying to compare one of the stories you wrote and compare to the interview answers. Try to see if there are differences. All history and perspectives can matter and be important, Hope that helps.

Everyone of us is living history. We all have a story to tell and the ancestors that came before us that carved a way for us to become a new member of civilization. We also are learning that we are all related genetically and culturally in the family of humanity. All people’s past becomes part of all of us, and will always be completely intertwined with the entire world community.

Author's NOTE

From time to time we will have some ideas from words that give us wisdom about our world. Writers are some of the most insightful people that understand our modern and ancient world quite well. Feel free to read, think, comment on these ideas. It seems that some of the students would like to debate issues of government, economics, and history. This can be a forum for this idea. Also if you would like to do formal debates in class we need to prepare debate rule and procedures. This can be a start and then we can decide if we will proceed to bring the debates in class on topics we study. Please follow our classroom rules if you decided to write on the blog. Make sure that you ask questions, and be helpful, and mature in all your interactions. This can be a helpful way for you to share what you have learned and what you want to learn, or just share ideas. Also just submit an idea through an email, or web contact, and we can maybe add the idea. Send a picture with the suggestion for the classes. Thank you.

Class Forum

Students can also decide to add a topic that can be approved and monitored by Mr.C. Please be responsible and follow the social contract. You can share ideas and questions on your now topics about our class. Friends can help each other study with their devices. Please only students, but fell free to share the forum communications with your family. This can be a source for all students.
