Homework: Revising Our Drafts

You should continue to work on your memoir. You should have a strong lead, a clear beginning, middle, and end, and a well developed reflection explaining what this memory has taught you. Try to incorporate important dialogue into your memoir. Don't force it or put a conversation where it doesn't belong, but try to use to dialogue to advance your story, reveal traits of a character, and/or to make your story come "alive". We will continue to work on this for the next few days. Final drafts will be due next Wednesday.
