Memoir Writing.

Room 11 are back from camp and are starting a new writing activity. We are learning to show not tell by writing memoirs about a certain memory we can remember from the past. Some of our memoirs we have written so far are to do with waking up on a school morning and what we do on a Saturday morning. It's been fun to write and and mess around with my memories, even some that I'd forgotten about. Here are the opinions of some other students.

" It sounded easy but it's actually kind of hard because you have to make it really detailed." - Eleanor.

" It's fun because you can write about your own memory and nobody will have the same thing as you." - Elysia.

"They're much easier than writing an autobiography because you can write about your memory and you can detail it more easily." - Brynn.

Some people were worried about being able to describe their memory properly but when you're the one that had the memory, it's easier than you think.
Attached to the blog are some of our classes memoirs. We hope you enjoy reading them and feel like you're literally in the memory.
