Let the Digital Memoirs Commence...

Totally Tubular Tuesday Teenie-boppers,

      Today is Tuesday, November 8, 2011.  Remember that procedural writing is a genre that guides, teaches, and instructs a reader through a task or experience.  Read the mini syllabus below to become familar with how we will use our time the rest of the week as we create our digital memoirs...

Survey, read, and review this syllabus to understand and complete your digital memoir. 
Memoirs are deep thoughts that touch the essence of an experience.   Memoir is your memory and your study of an experience in life.  Memoir is your thinking really deeply: the meaning below the meaning…  The meaning below the meaning you thought you found.  Memoirs are not biographies or autobiographies.  They are something similar, yet not exactly the same.  The subtle differences make memoirs more like a narrative: a story about a particular experience in someone's life.  Memoirs are a part of a life: not the whole life of a person. 
Your task is to choose a "persona" from the era in history known as the Holocaust.  A persona is the perspective or lens through which you will tell your memoir of the holocaust.  We will be using the program Windows Moviemaker to incorporate TEXT and MULTIMEDIA to demonstrate what we have learned as we explored this dark time in human history.
