What we expect from this paper, due Tuesday, September 8, is:
1. A sequential story of how a student learned and developed their art.
2. A rough draft on lined paper, using the attached student-created rubric as a grading guideline.
3. There is no maximum or minimum for paragraphs. I want to see students turn in thorough, thoughtful work.
4. More features of narrative autobiography are located in student notes taken September 2.
5. Students will be bringing in a demonstration of their art after the final draft is complete. (Don't worry about this. Directions for this will follow after the writing is complete.)
