Writing Prompt Do significant life events shape who you are?

4 Lifeline Assignment Part 1: Written Looking at your life so far, select 5 significant events to write about in your composition. Considerations: events, experiences, memories, milestones, accomplishments, shocking pieces of news, or anything else that stands out in your memory. (These can be good or bad events).

5 Lifeline Assignment Part 2: Visual Translate these events into representative symbols in a visual timeline. Considerations: visual memories, significant objects, feelings or emotions you had during the event.

6 Symbolism symbol (sim-bol): a symbol is a word or object that stands for another word or object. The object or word can be seen with the eye or not visible. For example a dove stands for Peace. The dove can be seen and peace cannot.

7 Cliché Cliché (cli·ché) / noun: a phrase or expression that has been used so often that it is no longer original or interesting.
