The reason I wrote these questions was because this week we have been planning a biography – (making a story about someone) – on day 1 we looked at a story called ‘Keith’. It was about Lee (Lee is the grandchild of Keith, but Lee was the one that wrote the story). That was our inspo through the week, and then we started planning for a family member. We started by writing what qualities our family members have, then did three columns that had Early / Life, Important / Experiences, and Strengths / Contributions. We put things that we knew about them into these subheadings. After we did that, we made questions that were going to be our biography.

Do you think that shaped who you are today?

Why do they stand out the most?
3 – EL / What made you keep pushing yourself, even when it got difficult?
What was some advice you got while going through hard times?
