Personal experience or event: A Very First Time Riding a horse
Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word memoir about the experience or event, drawing on the techniques you have learned throughout this course.
Write the memoir in first person and incorporate both the details of the experience or event as well as your personal reactions. Grammar and punctuation variations are acceptable if they serve the needs of the piece.
Write a separate 350- to 700-word reflection paper about how the skills you learned from writing nonfiction, poetry, playwriting, and the short story influenced your memoir. Include, in your reflection, a description of the role of the memoir in literature.
Format your memoir and reflection paper as directed by your instructor.
