The introspective nature of memoir helps students learn about themselves and connect with their environment or community, while also meeting a variety of Common Core standards. \n\nIn this way, memoirs and creative nonfiction can provide a bridge between \nfiction and nonfiction reading, narrative and informative writing, reading and writing, and can afford a way in to literacy for all adolescents. \n\nSpecial features of the book:\nexampler
