Autobiography

Part of a series designed to meet the wider reading needs of those studying for GCSE English, this collection presents students with a wide range of autobiographical and semi-autobiographical material. Special activities are presented in a section at the end of the text. Background information on each of the featured writers is provided, as well as ideas for discussion, charted events, dramatization and script-writing activities, written reports and an analysis of style and language. There are suggestions for coursework in an "Extended Activities" section, and an extensive booklist is also provided.
