Autobiography / Biography Assignment

Get a partner for this one! Each partner writes his/her autobiography. That’s a biography written by the person. Remember to use “I” as you write. When both partners are done, switch and turn the autobiographies into biographies. Now you are writing about another person, using “he” or “she.”
