Thursday, February 10

OBJECTIVE:  Students will begin brainstorming ideas for their memoirs.

Do-Now: In your notebook, begin answering the "Questions for Memoirists."  Make sure to THINK about every question thoroughly before you answer it.  Make sure your answers are meaningful and introspective.

AGENDA: You will be using your answers from your "Questions for Memoirists" to compile a list of Memoir-Worthy Experiences from your life.  We will go over the example list and discuss what types of events/memories would be considered memoir-worthy.  You will then begin creating your list.  Aim for at least TWENTY experiences.  Tomorrow, you will be choosing one of these experiences to write a short story on.

HOMEWORK: Finish your Memoir-Worthy Experiences list.
