Independent Memoir Projects

Dear Families,

I'm going to start sending home the Independent Memoir Projects with comments from me this week. Everyone will have theirs back by the middle of next week. The memoirs were wonderful! I'm quite happy with the quality of the work your kids produced on their own. They're really coming into their own as writers.

Over the course of the project, I provided feedback in writing and in conferences a few times for each student. Because the majority of that feedback was suggestions for ways to improve the writing, the comments I'm sending home with the published memoirs are compliments only. When your child's memoir comes home, please feel free to add to my compliments!

Best,

Lauren
