Memory Paper
Ayleen Lindahl College Writing I
This paper is to help you rediscover a specific situation or event from your past, explore it in depth, develop a particular point about it, and communicate your ideas in writing. We have and will be working on prompts that will help you determine a subject for your paper. Please choose one that has significance and not just a recount of 'the big game'. Feel free to be creative but true to life. Try to illustrate the significance through details and other techniques discussed in class.
This topic should be something you will feel comfortable making public as it will be shared within groups of the class.
Consider the prompt,
'What moment represents an important aspect of your upbringing? What significance does this memory have to you that can be related to others?'
Type a multi-paragraph paper of 2-3 double spaced pages (500-750 words) in which you might consider:
*Who your intended audience is
*How you can engage the reader to find the same significance
*What kind of voice you will use
*How much detail can convey the significance to the reader without drowning them in sensory details.
We will need four (4) Copies of the Rough Draft handed out to your group members on Wednesday (September 15).
The Final Draft (only 1 Copy for Instructor) will be due Monday (September 20).
