What's My Story? A Book About Me

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Have your class create keepsake books about themselves. This activity is a presented as a basic idea with minimal justifications or classroom applications. However, with a little effort, this could become a full lesson. Add a rubric, establish specific writing goals, provide clear expectations and rationale. This could be a good getting-to-know-you activity or way to have pupils share their favorite parts of the school year.
