Memoir Edits

By Wed.(ACE), Thurs(BDF) you should have a 3-4 pg. memoir ready
in class for peer editing. Your memoir should contain:

· At least 3-4 quotations done correctly (indent when
you change speakers)
· Detailed character descriptions
ex: not---she was funny
But—My friend had the ability to make me laugh so hard I thought I would be sick
· How you felt at the time and how you feel now
· Imagery—What did you see? What were the smells? Taste, touch, sounds?
· Make the reader CARE—not just a story, but one with a message
