1.07 Discussion: Memoir: Prewriting In this discussion, you'll gather feedback on your memoir planning document and, at the same time, help your classmates!

Let's review Khianna's post:

In Angela Baxter’s memoir, she included some reasons why her event was meaningful and memorable: it was the most important event she’d ever taken part in; her competitors were some of the biggest names in skateboarding; and she was in a position to win. Tyler, why don’t you give some reasons why your event was so meaningful and memorable.

Post your planning document to the discussion board.
Identify two areas that you would like feedback on. Some examples: Does my event seem meaningful and memorable? Have I included too many or too few details about the setting? Do the beginning and middle of my piece fit together well?
Read your classmates' planning documents, and provide constructive feedback explaining how they can improve their plans.
Use the discussion rubric to understand how you will be graded.
