Sharing out memoirs

Goal: Explain the memoir you read yesterday to a new group and make connections to personal experience.

Read:
Books out, let's go.

Memoir Groups: 
Talk to your group about the memoir you read yesterday.
Make sure everyone in your group can explain it.
Is it a memoir? Why or why not?
What is it really about?

English Journal: 

  • Open your English Journal.
  • Make sure it has an entry about the memoir you read yesterday. (At the top.)
  • Note: Do NOT make a new English Journal. Do NOT re-share your EJ with us. We already have it.

New Groups: 

  • I'll be moving you to a new group.
  • Make a table in your EJ.  It should look like the one below.
  • As you hear about each memoir make a note about the author's experience.
  • Then note the closest similar experience you have had.



Reminders:
Keep reading. You should be finishing your first book this week!
