- In this lesson we rewrite simple and complex snippets from a variety of memoirs. In each snippet we look at how the author expands on basic details with feelings, judgments and explanations, and notice how these enrich the recount and make it more meaningful. We use expansions, analytical responses, scaffolded rewrites and one checkpoint pieces.
