They can divide the content into periods that will vary according to each student's experience. They illustrate this autobiography with pictures they draw or with real photographs. They include descriptions of people and places, biographies of family members and friends, dialogues, and the like. They can also concentrate on just one period in their lives. Teachers should provide an example of an autobiography in English, or in the students' language before they tackle the activity.
Students imagine they are a famous character.
They can choose a contemporary person or someone who lived long ago. This means that they will have to do some research in the library. Once they have written their biographies, they dress up as their selected characters, speak about themselves, and answer their classmates' questions about the characters they are impersonating. Before starting the activity, they should do some research in the school library about the life and habits of the animal they have chosen. Hamlet's lines are well known and they can be used as an example for this activity.
