Abstract | The ability to infuse language with qualities of the human voice in the act of speaking is what distinguishes autobiography as a genre and makes it most suited to teaching students subtle features inherent in the complex act of writing. When students write from personal experience, they consciously begin to shape their identities in one direction or another. Autobiography offers the potential to tap rich resources and to establish valuable relationships between the young writer's emerging sense of self and the rhetorical structures he or she encounters in reading and writing. Writing teachers can assist in this development of each writer's sense of self, and consequent development of voice, through open-ended invention strategies such as a 12-part autobiographical questionnaire or a 10-part questionnaire eliciting personal responses to literature. As examination of student writing samples shows, writing from and about the self enables student writers to begin to distinguish their voices from those of other members of interpretive communities.
