In this research about teaching life-writing, the authors would like to focus on different ways of demonstrating narratives about personal lives. Some established research articles and academic writings on autobiography and biography can be read as textual practices of methods for teaching narrating lives in the classroom. It is significant to read the literary texts as practices of narratives about different lives. The relations among the narrator (first person in terms of autobiography, third person in terms of biography), the text, and the theory/the method of writing, in a way, all come to show the readers the richness of different lives and how distinguish these narratives are.
