A short framework for sharing memoir/s you have been reading

17/4/2023

We have a new 'show and tell' segment, 'Memoir', a space to share news of memoirs we have been reading, whether in book, short story, or article. We have a longer framework for in depth analysis of a memoir, however for our new segment, this shorter framework (with example) is suggested for a‘report’ to class, if ever you feel moved...

Title/subtitle/ 'Finding memories of a distant home through Milo toast'
Book/Article/other - Article (online)
Author/ Rachel Heng
Publisher - LitHub - March 28, 2023 - https://lithub.com/finding-memories-of-a-distant-home-through-milo-toast/ or Download pdf
Subtitle/’lens’ or focus/ - in this case is really spelt out in the title of the article...
Highlight – (how has this memoir related to something in/about your life; etc). "I loved Milo, and have surreptitious yet quirkily treasured memories of going to the cupboard and spooning out Milo for direct consumption. It also developed my appreciation of the history of Milo, as I never realised it was available throughout the world, also that it had socio/political implications."

'As Time Goes By' - Memoir Writing

A memoir captures a meaningful slice of life—a memory, a lesson, or an experience that stands out.

In our sessions, members come together to share short, reflective stories (up to 500 words) inspired by a new theme each month.

As Time Goes By is not a writing skills class, nor is it about creating a full autobiography.

It’s a space for those who want to record the stories that future generations might never think to ask about—a place to remember and share treasured moments in a welcoming, supportive environment with others who are also telling their stories.
