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. (It's already in your Google Drive.)
• Make sure it has an entry about the memoir you read yesterday. (At the top.)

New Groups: 

• I'll be moving you to a new group.
• Add a new entry at the TOP of your EJ with the date. (Stay below the top line)
• Make a table in your EJ.  Insert/Table/(5 down and 3 across.) 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. Try to relate to a time when you had the same feeling even if the situation was different. 

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