Biographies

Our first LA assignment was to write a biography on another student in our classroom.  We started by brainstorming and writing out questions to ask the other student when we interviewed them.  Grade 7 students were partnered up with Grade 8 students.  Our next step was to take the answers and create a rough draft of the biography on our new ASUS netbooks each student received on Tuesday.
When everyone has published their final copy by the end of this week, we will share them with the class so we can all get to know each other a little better.
