Due Week 4, May 10th - Memoir Piece and Personal Piece Form

So in our next class you have 2 things due. The first is you 250 word memoir piece. In it you should:

• explore a memory
• reflect on its broader meaning in your life (present self narrator looks back on past self)
• use of detail
• convey this detail through more than adjectives or long, fancy words

You personal piece form is also due (see the entry below). You don't have to write a lot, just choose a genre, estimate your length, start thinking about a partner, and your idea. Remember the actual personal piece is due May 31. Then you will spend the rest of the semester rewriting it, you don't have to worry about aiming for perfection in your first draft which is what you will hand in on May 31: "don't get it 'right' get it written."
