Do-Now: What do you miss about your childhood? What don't you miss? Describe. (Example: You miss not having any responsibility. You don't miss having less freedom.)
Today: 1) Pass-it-Around Story (Last One of the Year!) : Starting Line "On a warm, June morning I stepped outside my house and walked to the corner to wait for my bus."
2) Memoir #10 (Last One of the Year!): Compose your 10th Memoir (to be typed Monday). Next Friday you will have the entire class to edit and submit all TEN of your Memoirs. This project will be worth 200 points. Possible Memoir #10 Topics:
~ Write about your change from a child to a young adult. Think of an event/experience where you felt you were no longer a child and had taken the first step into young adulthood. (Examples: A milestone birthday. Letting go of a habit/item from your childhood. Experiencing freedom for the first time. A serious argument with a parent.)
~ Write about a time you had to say goodbye to someone/something. (Example: Moving away from your first home. Saying your final goodbye to a dying friend/family member. Saying goodbye to your classmates on the last day of school.)
~ Write about an important lesson your learned from someone older (a parent, friend, relative, teacher, boss). What did they teach you? How have you used this lesson to improve yourself and your life?
