Middle school students may maintain a strong sense of personal identity, yet at the same time recognize that their identity is changing. Reviewing and presenting their life story, or autobiography, can help a preteen or teen better understand who they are and who they want to become. In this activity, students plan, create, and present their autobiographies, either as an essay, a poster, or a computer presentation.
