More Remembering

You read "Arm Wrestling with My Father."

Answer some of the questions in your daybook. Do "Meaning" #1 and "Writing Strategy" #1.

Then in groups analyze the use of the techniques for writing about memories.

Homework:

Draft #1 is due tomorrow.  It can be as rough as a free write, but try to have more than two pages.

Final Version Due

You put together your Observation/Description papers. 

On the back of the last comment sheet, you will comment on the process of writing this paper.


List these steps to the process:


Choosing


Collecting




Drafting/Organizing/Shaping

Next to each one write out comments about how this step went for you.


We look at the next paper: Remembering.

Homework:

1.  In your daybook fill at least one page brainstorming about possible topics for your Remembering paper.  Then begin writing your first draft, due Tuesday.

Editing

Then you take time to read your draft to a partner, looking for items to change.

Homework:
