All About Me

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Young scholars are introduced to the characteristics of an autobiography. After reading excerpts from "The Diary of Anne Frank", they discuss how two people can see the same event in different ways and write about the event in the journals from two different perspectives. To end the lesson, they create a timeline of their life and write a story of one event as a flashback.
