Go over the Thursday sample in your DRP books on Page 3. Also, review the information on the marking guide for Thursday work on page 2.

From your list of 20 memoir ideas, you should have already circled three which will work best for memoirs for this class. Today you will complete a 1/2 page "short write" for each of these three memoir ideas. These short writes are pretty loose in nature and are mainly intended to help you start getting your ideas out onto paper.

On your 2 column chart that you created for "The Great Rat Hunt" complete the right-hand column by describing how the author/protagonist felt during each of the events listed in the left-hand column.
