Today I introduced the first major writing assignment - the memoir. A memoir is a story about an event or person in your life that changed you. The event must be very significant, you know, life-changing. Also, it is a story. So there should be dialogue and wonderful details to put the reader (me) "inside" the story. The embellishment is what makes a memoir more interesting than most autobiographies.
We also did the prewrite, so everyone already has 20 points toward their total.
I had fun today and I hope you guys did too!
