In my blog I am going to talk about all the written assignments I have done so the ones in which I type or wrote.

1. The first assignment I did was that there were questions given about the topic Biography. There were questions asking the difference between types of perspectives like third person and first person.
2. The second task we had was about chronological order in which we had to arrange the life events of Obama and another person. This assignment was to help us to get better to arranging life events or any events of something
3. We read Ida B. Wells biography and then answer some questions about her.
4. Then we read Eleanor Roosevelts biography and found words and wrote their meanings and wrote sentences with those words.
5. We also did a task on vocabulary use in which we were given words and made sentences about them.
6. For our unit summative we had to make a biography on a person from civil rights movement and then we chose our person and did research about him and wrote it on a timeline and this was part a of the summative-research
7. In part b we took that information and wrote the first draft then we pointed out the mistakes and graded it.
8. The last task of our unit 1 was now finally to write the final draft the biography so we did that and that was our summative of the unit.
