Autobiography Speech

Hi Year 8,

Here is my autobiography Speech. I recorded this 3-4 minute movie using my I phone which made it really simple to record my speech and upload onto the computer. The topics and information mentioned within my autobiography time-line (the spreadsheet), was transformed into a speech to create this movie.

Please feel free to comment, provide feedback and ask questions about my speech.


Online Literature Festival Chat


Hi Year 8 (again),
here is the Online Literature Festival Chat I participated in. I was talking with Lucy Grealy, the autobiographer of "Autobiography of a face". Here I learnt some interesting tips on writing and presenting an autobiography. Please read the questions and answers, as she has provided great feedback on preparing to write an autobiography.

I also applied what I learnt from the Online literature chat into my autobiography speech, which will soon be published on my Blog.

Please feel free to leave comments, ask questions and provide feedback :-)

Autobiography Time line



Hi Year 8,
Here is my autobiography time line that I created in Microsoft Office Excel. I look forward to hearing from you via the comments, please feel free to ask questions and provide feedback.
