Teach Learn Write

This book mark is a great resource for students to keep in their books while they read, to track their progress, and to use as a check-in tool.

Here is a worksheet to get students brainstorming different ways to start their memoir. Sometimes getting started is the hardest part! After students go through this exercise, they can choose which beginning makes the most sense for their piece of writing, and they may choose to use the other "beginnings" they drafted later on in their piece.
