Bring a paper copy of your memoir. You will submit it after you share with the class in a writer's circle format.
Sharing guidelines:
1. Be prepared to read your memoir to the class. If it is longer than two pages, summarize the events up to the most exciting point in your story. Be sure the listeners understand the lesson learned. Don't cut too much!
2. When it is your turn, begin without apologies. Speak up! Remember that you are the star of this story.
3. Once finished, submit the paper copy of the memoir to me.
4. Once everybody has read, submit your electronic version in CANVAS.
Enjoy your summer and your future.
Reminder: You MUST come to the exam in order to pass the class - college rules!
