Memoir for Tuesday
In your >2pg memoir for Tuesday, I'd like you to think hard about the story you want to tell to your readers (me, the rest of the class, possibly your roommates, friends or family). Don't just give a blow-by-blow account of what happened. Think also:
- what did it mean?
- what were you feeling?
- how was this different/similar to anything you'd ever experienced before?
- how could your presentation of the story affect the way your readers experience it?
- did you try anything new in this paper?
- how do you feel about the way it turned out?
- what could have made it better?
- what do you particularly like about the paper?
- what would you do if you revised it again?
