The Autobiography is due in just under a week. For those who may not check the blog, I created a map in the class for you to look at to help you along the way with the assignment. This assignment is due on Monday, October 26.

| The jot notes are the ideas that eventually become the sentences for the paragraph. |
Here is a copy of Nat's Life Map. He agreed that I could share it with the class as an example:
During Language period tomorrow morning, we will look at this in more detail and do a comprehensive review of the type of sentences we have learned about this term.
I made a copy of the jot notes started by Nathaniel. He wrote only a few words per chapter for the Autobiography. I provided some feedback and made some suggestions on possible jot notes he could write. The idea is that jot notes will assist in the writing of paragraphs.
If I was Nathaniel, I could now use these notes to help me draft a paragraph. Pretending I am Nathaniel, I might write something like this:
For a long time it was hard for me to finish Gym class. I would always be breathing hard. I told my Mom and she took me to the doctor and I found out that I have Asthma. Since I did not know a lot about Asthma, this made me sad. I only knew bad things about it. Then I got a puffer and I felt more comfortable. I have had only one attach since I got it and now I am used to it.
