**Tuesday:**
Memoirs are due on Friday!

Today we talked about creating a quality conclusion:

**Wednesday:**
Today student received mark updates. Parents will receive reports on Friday by email. If you don't have email you can expect your son or daughter to bring home a paper copy.

Today we looked at the rubric for your memoir that is due on Friday and spent some time in revision. Tomorrow we'll discuss proofreading.

**Thursday:**
Your memoirs are due tomorrow! Please include your draft(s) with evidence of revision and editing, your completed conference form. Here's a copy of [|the rubric] we'll be using. In addition, I'll be looking to see that you've started with action, dialogue or reactions and that you are 'showing' rather than 'telling' your story.

Here's a copy of the checklist we used today in class:

**Friday:**
Listen/watch each of these videos in order. After each one stop and write thoughts and feelings. Each time, write for five minutes. Once finished, use what you've written to produce something creative. I think I'll write a poem. You might like to write a poem or an opinion piece, or perhaps you'll create a visually artistic piece. Be prepared to share your creation during class next Friday. [] [] []
