Revisions for An Important Memory

Please post your revised work here. Remember to make constructive comments to student work before next week's class. Use the "Criterion-Based Questions" as a guide for making good comments. Thanks!

NOTE: I made my comments to the pieces at the post below for Masaru, Hongxin, Emilia and Suzanne.

NEW: 50 Writing Tools
Excellent short explanations to help you improve your writing style. The first 30 or so include a "podcast" so you can listen to an explanation as well. Try applying one or two to your current work on memory.
