Autobiografía / Spanish Autobiography for Native Speakers or AP Spanish
At the end of the year, our final formal essay in my Spanish for Native Speakers class consists of writing a detailed autobiography.

Because I have several students, I assign them a minimum of a two-page paper, but you could easily make it as long as you'd like. Students have a lot more to say/write then they think they do!
