Read Act I and Act II of Macbeth for next Wednesday
Memoir Day!
3rd & 4th Periods with Karen Karbo; 5th & 7th Period with me.
Remember January 21st, 2011 1,000 word memoir due! (ABSOLUTELY NO LATE WORK!!!!)
Brainstorming -- remember, all ideas are good:
Listing things that traditionally happen to kids:
Pets; birthday parties; day care; potty trained; lose teeth; first days of school; make friends; lose friends; play dates; learn to read; 1st crush; travel; lemonade stands; T-ball; Outdoor School; sleep overs; imaginary games; hide and seek; recess; Magic School Bus; watch TV; school plays; argue with siblings; solstice; christmas; halloween; holidays; Doctor and dentist visits; shots; birthday parties; "cooties";
Choose a vivid memory (for example one of the above); write about this event as if you are THAT AGE -- try writing in present tense to reinforce the idea that you are there and you are that age.
Note how it felt to write from the child's perspective (as opposed to your current perspective).
