2013 and January Class Notes and Homework

2013 Journaling and Memoir Homework Week 2:
Complete the homework of the January class, but with one exception. Rather than write about 5 memories, write about 7 this week. So, that is write about one memory per day.

January Class Homework:
This week, write about 5 memories. Use all seven days to write as much as possible for each.

Both Classes Notes:
This week, we are going to start to expand our memories and get the whole picture of the memory on the page. So, how will we go about it? Do the following with each memory:
1 Act like a reporter on the scene and write what you see and hear.
2 Switch to your perspective and ask who, what, where, when, why, and how questions of the memory.
3 Add all five senses: taste, smell, touch, sight, and hearing/sound.
4 What did you think, feel, sense, and pray?
5 Do you have any photos of the memory? Pick three and describe each photo, if you do.
6 If you don't have any photos, and could take three to fix, what would you take? Describe each photo. This is called Missing Photo Journaling Exercise or Prompt.
