Autobiography

Heres your chance to tell me about yourself as a writer. Using the following questions as a guide, write
an essay telling me about yourself as a writer. Dont just answer the questions, write an essay. Be
honest!

1. How do you use writing in your everyday life? What kind of writing is it?

2. What are your true feelings about writing? Do you enjoy it? Do you dislike it?

3. What is the hardest thing about writing for you personally? Beginning an assignment? Spelling?
Commas? Having enough to say?

4. What is most enjoyable about writing?

5. Compare the writing youve done in the classroom to the writing youve done outside of school.

6. What type of writing do you like the most? What do you like the least?

7. What is your most memorable writing experience? Was it a story? Was it a letter or poem to a friend?
Why is this piece important to you?

8. If you were a writing teacher, what approach would you use? What would be the most effective way
to teach writing?

Remember, you dont need to answer all the questions. You are really writing to tell me how you have
or have not developed as a writer. Print this piece when you are done but not before you save it in the
folder you created for creative writing.
