Abstract
This thesis project has two parts focusing on teaching memoir writing in middle school. The first part is a sample memoir written by the author about a 10-year period in her life to become a soccer athlete. The first part shows the trials and tribulations of an athlete as well as serving as a model for the second part of this thesis. The second part is a series of lesson plans that will be used to teach 8th grade students how to write a memoir as well as the components that are necessary to creating a successful piece of writing.
