Future Life Biography Assignment
Look forward into the future! A biography tells the life story
of a person as written by someone else. If you were to know
your own future and write a biography for yourself in third
person, what would it include? Be creative with your life facts!

 What education or training did you have beyond high
school?
 Were you married with a family, and what sort of life
did you have with your family?
 What career or jobs did you have?

have? Alternatively, what interests or hobbies were

statement?
