Students should rewrite their biographies in story form, answering the following questions:
1. What is my mother's name?
2. Where was my mother born and When?
3. Where are all the places that my mother has lived?
4. What did my mom do with her life (major events)? [This should include BIG things, like which university did she graduate from? Did she win anything in her life (like a contest, a trophy, an award, etc)? Did she meet anyone famous?]
5. What is special about my mother?
[Again, I repeat: It should be in STORY FORMAT! It is NOT a questionnaire. It is a BIOGRAPHY! Many students wrote it as a questionnaire. They should write it like a biography.]
