This document discusses the genre of memoir writing. It defines a memoir as a snapshot of one's life experiences that focuses on a vivid or intense moment. Memoirs aim to connect or allow readers/writers to reflect on the past. Contemporary memoirs differ from autobiographies by not encompassing one's full life and focusing more on reflection. Using memoirs in class allows students to discover themselves, make sense of their experiences, and open communication. The document provides examples of how to create a memoir writing lesson plan around Sandra Cisneros's story "My Name".

This document discusses several essential elements of writing, including thesis statements, open and closed form writing, audience, tone, style, and support.
[1] Thesis statements should be interesting, significant, and problematic; indicate what questions are being answered; and imply "because." [2] Open form writing uses descriptions, scenes, dialogue and character development while closed form uses a single declarative sentence. [3] Writers must know their audience by considering factors like age, education, and reactions. [4] Tone and style contribute to voice and consistency. [5] Essays require contextual support through history, culture and building empathy.

This document discusses the use of diction and tone in literature to reveal a speaker's attitudes. It provides examples of formal, informal, and slang diction. Tone is defined as the author's attitude toward the subject, audience, or characters. Word choice influences tone and can reveal feelings like cheerfulness, pessimism, or arrogance. The document examines a poem and asks discussion questions about how the speaker's diction and tone reflect their attitudes and central purpose. Students are given exercises to identify tone, analyze poems for use of diction and tone, and create dialogues or performances based on the poems.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
