Hooks and Leads: Model:

Here are some ideas we came up with for starting our memoirs...
 * start with a theme-like statement
 * start with mystery
 * start right in the middle of the action and then take us through the rest of the story
 * use flashback
 * start with dialogue--put us right in the moment/show characterization through dialogue
 * start with an idea, question, statement that provokes thought and keeps your reader guessing
 * start with hyperbole
 * start with the end and work backwards
 * start with extreme description/detail that paints a vivid picture
 * start with a six-word memoir
 * start with action!
 * start with a list

Drafting day for Memoir--by the end of today, you should be done with about 2 pages of writing.

HW: Prep for finals.
