You should be using your research to recount events that occurred to that person during their life, without re-writing history.

Here are some general guidelines:

Your writing should convey a thorough understanding of the historical figure.
Your factual evidence should engage your research.
Consider the time frame. Your autobiography should be “written” by the historical figure, in their “voice”, at some time in their life. Carefully consider when a significant time in their life would be. The framework of your writing, as well as the events you reflect on will convey your research of the historical figure as well as your creativity.
Avoid re-writing history. The goal is to offer an account that shows the historical figure’s accomplishments, as well as the interpretations of what historians have written about them.
All writing should be original, and from your own creation. If your historical figure has actually written an autobiography, you should avoid using direct quotes from that source. Plagiarism is a serious offense and will result in a zero for this assignment.
