Memoir Remix (Middle Years)

Purpose

Practise quickly mimicking a voice or style.

Description

Quick and fun. One picture, five exercises in different writing styles: teaser, diary entry, memories, timetables, and dialogue with conflict. Students are given a snippet and a worked example, and they write their own version. Who can do the best impression? Each exercise stands alone. Do one each day, or do them all in one go.
