  • 2. Atlantic Canada My favorite place in the world is definitely Atlantic Canada, specifically New Brunswick. Almost everyone on my mom’s side of the family lives on the coast of New Brunswick in a small tourist town, and we try to visit them every summer. I’m not sure why I love New Brunswick so much, maybe because there’s a lot of coastline and mostly everyone speaks French with a nice accent, and that’s it’s a beautiful province. I’d love to move there someday, maybe in a house right on the coastline. There’s so much to see in that region of the country, and I want to visit it all someday.

  • 3. Birds I’m not much of an animal lover, but I really like birds. My family currently has three pet birds- a parrot and two cockatiels, and their names are Sunshine, Stormy, and Jesse.

    Alphabiography

    An alphabiography is an autobiography, often set as an English studies project for high school or college students, consisting of a set of twenty-six short stories or chapters about the writer's life.[1] Each story or chapter has a title starting with a different letter of the alphabet, for example: "Apple growing", "Baseball", "Cynthia" etc. At the end a summation is undertaken.

    Examples

    The book Totally Joe by James Howe is about Joe Bunch, who is given an assignment to write his alphabiography – although he thinks it will be boring, it turns out to be the gateway for him to learn much about his own identity as a gay young adult.[2]

    ReadWriteThink.org, a website sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of English and the International Reading Association, includes a lesson plan for an alphabiography project.[3]
