Memoir

Genre study creates a wonderful opportunity to study the qualities of good writing as well as provides students a full picture of all the possibilities within a genre. A Memoir genre study in particular, invites students to write about their lives in ways that are detailed and reflective. The books in our memoir collections can be used to teach a variety of writing skills and demonstrate the kinds of writing we can imagine students doing.
