Homework: Finish writing your Autobiographical incident, Due Friday 8-31
Instructions
for writing an Autobiographical Incident (due
Friday, 8-31)
An autobiographical incident is simply this:
Autobiography = Someone writing about his or her life
Incident = something that happens, an event
So, an autobiographical incident (A.B.I.) is when you write about some event in your life.
Pick an event that was fun, scary, interesting, memorable - anything is good as long as you will enjoy writing about it (and your reader will enjoy reading about it). It can be about a special day, something that happened on a trip, a cherished gift, a lucky moment, something tragic, or something joyful. As long as it's about an actual event in your life that you can describe with good detail.
Tips:
> Be specific. Pick an important moment in your life and build your writing around it. Don't spend time on unimportant details.
> Use detail. Describe sights, smells, sounds and feelings using interesting language. Paint a picture for the reader using words.
> Include some dialogue. Even if you don't remember someone's exact words during a past event, include some dialogue (what people say) in your A.B.I.
Requirements:
Write neatly on binder paper (or type if you wish). It should be at least one page handwritten (one side, no skipped lines). If typed, it should be one page double spaced.
