The document outlines a lesson plan for a 10th grade language arts class on autobiographies. Students will read an excerpt from the autobiography of Frederick Douglass and write their own autobiography. They will collaborate to create a class blog to publish their work. The lesson incorporates multicultural elements, including providing translations of the Douglass text in various languages and encouraging students to write drafts in different languages for extra credit. Peer editing workshops are a key part of the writing process.
