Memoir: Magical Moments in Young Children's Lives

Camille Pires

Published September 2013

Tools for this Unit:

Introduction

Young children in their primary years begin their educational journey full of wonder and enthusiasm. This exuberance quickly dulls over the next two decades as many children go through the process of learning. Once confident and courageous about their ability, children as young as 2 nd grade begin to feel defeated and stop taking chances. 1 Because of this, their writing skills do not grow at the same pace as their verbal ability, creative thinking, and imagination.

My unit will focus on building a curriculum where children's basic knowledge of reading and writing will become a spring board to more creative and descriptive writing about their own life story.
