Aim: How do we begin our memoirs? Quick Write: Write a six-word memoir. Not four words. Not five words. Not seven words. SIX. Exactly. For example: "Brain Science. Best. English. Class. Ever."
Check out this Web site for other examples.
First of all, bookmark the previous post on the final challenge
because that should be your B I B L E until the end of this course.
Today we will think about how to begin our memoirs. Introductions are usually both the first and last step for savvy writers. There is a worksheet available in class that identifies several different types of introductions. Check them out to help you determine what kind of "lead" you want to use. However, as a cautionary note, make sure you know where you are taking your memoir (your purpose or lesson) before you begin writing. As Lewis Carroll said, "If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there," and taking any road is the fastest way to get lost.
