Auto-bio Poem
The auto-bio poem is a "formula poem" which can serve as an introduction to the student and/or as an introduction to poetry.
When introducing the Auto-Bio Poem to students, the first step in helping students write their Bio-Poem is to have students brainstorm traits that they can use for line two. The teacher should emphasize only positive traits.
