This memory can be a personal memory of something that happened to you, a persona who influenced you, or a memorable event. Or it can be a conversation you often recall, words of advice you rely on for guidance, or something else that is meaningful to you. It can even be about an object that reminds you about an important person or event in your life. Take some time before you decide and choose the one that you feel the most compelled to write about for a story. Part I: Below you will find a few questions that will help you write the story of this memory. This will help you create an outline before you write your story. Title of Your Memory (be creative) Describe what happened in your memory: How old were you? Where were you? What happened? Who was there? Try to make the memory as vivid and clear as possible. Use imagery and descriptive language where you can. Give details and really make this memory come alive. Why is this memory important to you? Has this memory shaped who you are in any way? Has it influenced the choices you have made in your life since this happened? If so, how? Describe with detail. What impact do you think that this memory will have on your future? How will it affect your relationship with others? How will it shapes your dreams, hopes, and plans for your future? Why? Be as specific and clear as possible. What else, if anything, is important about this memory that you have not written yet? Part II: Use the brainstorming and writing you did above to help you now write the story of your memory. The order of your writing from Part I is a good outline for the structure of your story.

This story should grab the reader’s attention and keep them interested. ____________________________________________________________________________________
