If your experience is that of most students, you will probably find that drawing the plan and thinking about your early home brought back events you have not thought of in years. Students in my classes remember exactly what it felt like to fall out of bed and break an arm, what the blue tile in the bathroom looked like smeared with lipstick, and the way the kitchen smelled after the furnace exploded. They find that their memories contain many more details than they had expected. Most of the memories stimulated by this exercise take two forms: recounting events and supplying details. This combination of events and details comprises narrative, because making experience conscious requires the ability both to tell what happened, and happens, and to fill in details that make the events come alive. This excursion into memory also illustrates the close connection between narrating and learning because memory provides one way for us to know or bring o consciousness some thing about experience in this world.

By learning to draw on the resources of your memory, you can increase the detail in your writing. One way to reach these resources is to make connections with concrete objects. Visualizing your childhood home probably helped you think of details that would have otherwise remained buried in your mind. Perhaps you have had the experience of being able to recall55.
