This document gives one way of teaching the autobiographical essay to students, although it should also be useful to people who are not students, but who want to write this kind of essay.

Feel free to copy this and give sections of it or all of it to your students, other teachers, and your friends.

In my 50-minute classes, usually I will go over one or two essays by professional writers, one or two essays by student writers, and I will let students work on one or two exercises. I try to tell lots of anecdotes because students usually will write humorous essays about growing up.

No professional writing appears in this guide because of copyright issues. (My students own the copyright to their essays and have given me permission to use their essays in this document.) You may bring to class samples of professional writing of your own choice, if you wish.
