All About Me Lapbook
Description
This ALL ABOUT ME / AUTOBIOGRAPHY resource provides materials for students to create an All About Me / Autobiography Lapbook.
Designed with third and fourth graders in mind, this resource includes materials for students to use while writing autobiographies, as well as materials for the presentation of their final writing piece, in an All About Me/Autobiography Lapbook.
To complete this project, students:
• interview a family member using the included printable,
• use a graphic organizer as a prewriting tool to organize their writing,
• write informative text in five paragraphs, including an introduction paragraph, three body paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph, and
• create a lapbook as their final product, showcasing their research notes as well as their final written piece.
This could easily be adapted for use in lower grades, or with less able writers, where the expectation is a single informative paragraph.
Their research AND their final writing piece is creatively presented in a lapbook, with several options for assembly. Photos and clear directions are included.
