Every year, the Independent Studies class at Frontier College publishes a book of student writing. They have been doing this for 20 years. In 2002, we thought we would document a project that we worked on in our Self-Management/Literacy class from April to June of 2002. This project was about writing an autobiography.

This lesson plan from CONNECT has learners write their autobiography by answering simple questions. Fields are used to simplify the typing process.
