Auto biographies
 

I am looking for an autobiography with a worksheet for an intermediate reading class.

Can you help me?
 
(not a biography. I have plenty of these but I can not find an auto biography)

haven �t found a ws so far but I did find an autobiography by Thomas Mann http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/1929/mann-autobio.html
If you are unable to find anything, at least you �ll have something for your own ws.

Sophia and puddyd, you are both wonderful angels to respond so quickly.

I am so sorry to say that in my haste I forgot to specify that it must be approximately 450 words (350-550).  The excellent links you gave are over 1000 words and much to advanced for my class�s level.
 
I am not keen to abridge anything just yet and am  **hoping**  that someone somewhere will magically say here is one just right for you.  Hopefully this is not wishful thinking.

This one �s short, not sure if it �s still too long . 
You could do an autobiographical song like : Charlene �s -Never been to me or look here for a song 
Goodluck ;-)

Why not give half the class one half and the other half the other and ask them to read it in groups and explain to each other what they read?
