Autobiographical?
For the first three years of my life at secondary school, everyone was taught drama alongside art and music. (I am grateful to have gone to a mixed school; LittleSisterCrow went to an all-girls' school and had to do dance as well*.) Fortunately, whereas most art teachers fail to comprehend that some children just can't hold a pencil or a paintbrush, let alone guide it artistically, and that most music teachers refuse to accept that Isomeone can't sing, my Year 7 (first-year) drama teacher was a bit more clued-up. He realised that most of the kids couldn't act. He was also aware that many of them started dense and just got denser as the years went on. He also had a sense of humour.

So at the start of one lesson, as everyone was filing in to the classroom and taking a seat**, he showed me a document and said,
"Crow, you're fairly astute," he grinned slightly at this point, "This was submitted to me by one of my Year 9 students."

I was initially taken by surprise. Was this a trick question? This looked like a beautifully presented project on Dr Martin Luther King. Tidily word-processed, featuring a nicely made front cover with an iconic photograph of the man himself. What was I supposed to spot?

Then I re-read the title:
"An Autobiography of Martin Luther King."

You had to do projects for Drama?
