Description
Start the year strong with this fabulous, original, and real-world related writing prompt pack. This easy-prep resource is designed to teach memoirs with a focus on descriptive, evidence-based writing.
Student Experience: Students take notes about the qualities of a memoir, read and annotate an original memoir about a shopping for back-to-school clothes experience, and practice writing in preparation to write their own memoir. It's the perfect "getting-to-know you" activity for back to school. It fulfills the "pretest" writing requirement. Plus, it's a new, productive twist on the old "write what you did this summer" prompt.
Included:
- The lesson itself in an editable PPT format and PDF format (The lesson alone includes common core standards, definitions, examples, notes, guided practice in interactive format, review, and independent practice, and ideas for extension)
- Instructions for writing the memoir, editable
- A simple rubric for grading, editable
- An original teacher memoir sample with annotations
- Text-based questions to use with the teacher sample (with answers), editable
- A printable lecture guide for students
- A short unit quiz with answers, editable
The original teacher memoir alone would be a perfect isolated lesson for teaching memoirs or just for close reading, summarizing, and analyzing an original, unique
