Autobiography: My Name

2024-25

7G English

Date Due

Oct. 2, 2024

Additional Info
This piece should be about half a side of A4 (maximum one side) and should be handwritten in your blue exercise book. If you are a typist, please create a page in your Memoirs section and title the page H/W: 'My Name'.

Using the extract 'My Name' by Sandra Cisneros (we read in class at the beginning of term but it is attached if you want to remind yourself), write your own version of an autobiographical account of your name.

The following questions might help stimulate your thinking:
  • how and why did your parents choose your name?
  • what does your name mean?
  • does your name have any family significance (e.g. are you named after someone special)?
  • do you have a nickname? How did this come about?
  • how does your name represent who you are? If you weren't called your name, what would you choose to be called?
You can use this opportunity to be as creative as you like with your writing style. Try and use at least three interesting pieces of vocabulary and at least one short sentence (max. 5 words).
