Information
Description
Discover the fascinating genre of memoirs with this comprehensive three-page worksheet. Distinguishing it from an autobiography, students explore this personal, historical account of events or time periods through excerpts from the memoirs of Gertrude Stein, Winston Churchill, and Henry David Thoreau. After reading each passage, students describe the elements that characterize it as a memoir. They are then encouraged to write a short memoir of their own following a prompt. This fourth-grade resource is designed to reinforce essential nonfiction comprehension skills, including answering questions with supporting evidence.
