Autobiographic

As we read Guy de Maupaussant's "The Necklace," we are also studying characterization.

[aside: How much do my kids love this story? SO MUCH! I am a little bit surprised, actually; usually they don't like anything.]

Today we wrote biopoems for the three characters in the story, two as a class and one as an individual assignment. I was very impressed by their insight and their use of descriptive words. Sometimes I just get so proud I can barely breathe.

Their blog assignment is to write an auto-biopoem, because (as I told them) it's always fun to write about yourself.

Because I am too lazy to come up with a whole other topic, I'm putting my own here.
