I regret that we will not be meeting in person on Tuesday, October 25. Please use the time to work on the final copy of your technology "friend or foe" essay.
Also, be sure to read the three sample personal essays that were handed out on Thursday. If you were absent, just look at the post from October 20. The links are there as well as on CANVAS.
In addition to reading the brief essays, think about what you will record as your own memory paper.
Remember:
1. A memoir is a true story.
2. You are the star of the story!
3. Conversation is more informal than formal. In other words, people sound the same way they talk. However, please used correct punctuation.
4. The memoir teaches a lesson of some sort. It makes a point.
On Thursday, be ready to share two possibilities for a personal memoir. Also note the point you plan to make or the lesson you plan to teach the reader.
Hopefully, the sample papers helped you to think of personal experiences that would lead to great writing!
Contact me on CANVAS if you have questions or concerns.
