Lesson Plan

Writing Fix: Memoirs About Photographs

Curated by ACT

This review discusses Looking Back, a memoir written by Lois Lowry. The song "Photograph", performed by Nickelback, and "In Color" by Jamey Johnson, are suggested as sources to assist with extending the learners' understanding of memoir. After sharing the sources, students will bring in a photograph of a special early memory and a current photograph of a special memory now.Then, using the frame for the song "Photograph", learners will brainstorm and develop their writing into an extended piece, poem, or vignette that focuses on feeling, voice, and description.
