Grammar Games

Choose a subject such as an ancestor, friend, a hero or idol, or someone special to you. According to Midge Gilles of The Guardian, "Traditionally, this has taken the form of a straight narrative arc from birth to death." Recently, biography has started to take on more exciting and imaginative forms than this traditional 'cradle to grave' approach." Be creative in the choice and structure you would like your biography to take on.Research and collect information, as much as you possibly can, from your subject's birth date to the most relevant facts of her life. Letters, journals, newspaper clippings, photographs, and conversations with friends and family can be great places to find obscure information.
