For this assignment choose two WRITTEN memoirs (in other words, do not choose Me in Six Words or your video for SM1 or SM2)
write 2-3 sentences about each memoir you’ve chosen (2-3 about SM1 and 2-3 about SM2), explaining why you chose this particular memoir to revise and present as part of your Final Five.

2 separate assignments at Connect: Self Review: Short Memoir 1 and Self Review: Short Memoir 2
Before you work on this self review, you should read the Minimum Requirements for each final memoir

Self Review of SM 3-4; Revise & Post SM 1-2
Revise the first 2 Short Memoirs (SM1 & SM2)

“Revision” means changing the content (story elements, stylistic elements, coherence elements) and not just fixing up errors you see.
Use what you learned from self-review, peer review, and from closely reading the minimum requirements for Memoirs as a guide to help you prioritize what to revise (find Minimum Requirements here: Writing & Revising Your MemoirsLinks to an external site.)
As you revise, make notes of changes that you make in order to improve your memoir, because in next week’s Final Reflection Essay, you will need to show “before and after” revision examples of your revision. It would be a good idea to just keep a separate file where you list all the important revisions that you make for each of the Final Five memoirs, so that when you write the essay next week, you have a treasure chest of possibilities to use as examples.
In the reply box here:
Write 2-3 sentences about each memoir you’ve chosen (2-3 about SM3 and 2-3 about SM4), explaining why you chose this particular memoir to revise and present as part of your Final Five.
At the end of your written text, include a link to the Memoirs page on your website where you posted the newly revised SM1 and SM2.

There are 2 versions of the SM4 Self Review assignment at Connect–one is called Self Review: Short Memoir #4 (Written) and the other is called Self Review: Short Memoir #4 (Multimedia). You only have to do one of these! Choose which one to do based on what type of memoir you’ve chosen for SM4–if it’s written, use the Written assignment. If it’s the video or presentation, use the Multimedia assignment.

Week 9 Blog– The Connect Blog

In this week’s blog, you’ll reflect specifically on the work you’ve done at Connect–two parts to focus on each of the tools we used:

Part 1: Practice Sessions

Before you write the blog, spend some time looking at your data reports at Connect—these reports are accessed by clicking back into one of the practice assignments. Here’s how:

Click into one of the practice assignments (the ones with a big “A” next to them) and then when you get the list of all the assignments, click on the button to continue into the specific assignment that you’re going to look at.

Once you’re back into the assignment, open the menu on the left (at top left, it’s 3 vertical lines—I call it the “hamburger icon”). Then click on “My Reports.” As you do, think about things you might want to write about in your blog this week:

“MY REPORTS”

Missed Questions: This will show you a list of some of the questions you missed while completing the assignment. Click into one or two of them and try to answer them again. Did you get them right this time? If so, does it feel like you’re making progress? If not, is this an indication that this is a topic you still need more practice with?

Most Challengings LOs: This will show a list of the learning objectives (LOs) for this topic that you missed the most questions on. If you don’t understand one of the LOs, you can click on it and Connect will show you a question that was created for that LO. Are there specific LOs that you feel confident about? Are there others that you feel you still need more practice with?

Self-Assessment (spend the most time looking at this one): This report shows you the connection between your confidence levels (your own self-assessment about your knowledge) and your accuracy. If you have a high percentage in the top two rows, that means that your metacognition (what you THINK you know) is accurate. If you have a high percentage in the bottom two rows, that means that your metacognition is not accurate (what you think you know and what you actually know are not the same).

Aware that you Knew the Answer: If you have 75% or higher in this category, Good news! You’ve not only mastered these learning objectives, you are confident in your knowledge. Your goal should be to have the highest percentage in this category.
Aware that you didn’t know the answer: If you have a percentage of 10% or higher in this category, it’s still good news (not as good as the first category): This means that you know what you don’t know. It’s actually very important to know what you don’t know–that’s the first step to learning. You can’t learn if you think you know everything.
Unaware that you knew the answer: If you have a percentage of 10% or higher in this category, it means that you know more than you think you do. Or, you know this stuff, but you just have no confidence in your knowledge. Your metacognition does not match up with your actual knowledge. What does this mean? You just need to practice more until you feel confident. Maybe seeing these numbers will help convince you that you know more than you thought.
Unaware that you didn’t know the answer: If you have a percentage of 20% or higher in this category, it means that you think you know more than you actually do–20% or more of the time you said “I know it” but then you got it wrong. If you have 20% or higher in this category, it means that you need more practice with this topic.
As you’re looking at your reports, take a few screenshots of data that seems important—then use some of these images in your blog this week.

Part 2: Reading and Annotation Assignments

Before you write Part 2, look back through the work you did in the reading and annotation assignments (the ones with the circle icon, where you read a text and answered each slice of the circle).

Do you think using this tool consistently and routinely, not only when reading the work of professional writers, but then also reading your own work, helped you to become a more confident reader?

Do you have strategies for how to approach the reading of a text that you didn’t have before? What are they? Do you think you can take something you’ve learned from doing these reading assignments at Connect and use it when you are reading other texts? Can you apply this knowledge to reading you’ll do for other classes (even other classes like science or engineering)?

REVISION
Short Memoir #1: Childhood Snapshot
Impacts of my childhood experience to my development as a young writer
My early memory of writing is still crystal clear in my mind, at the age of around of 10 years, is when I could imagine events and at times experience events and turn them into the paper. Mostly, my transformation of thoughts into words was inspired by my experiences of growing in a poverty and general family. My parents ’laborious struggles to see that they provided for all our needs solely encouraged me to express my thoughts on them being our heroes.
