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!
