Give the Gift of a Memory

December 11, 2008 · Leave a Comment


Memorable gifts don’t have to cost much.  Download and print these two Auto/Biography Holiday Memory Writing Kits to record a memory and offer it as a gift over the holiday season. Auto-and-biography activities are energizing. Once people get talking about past times, their spirits lift up and their voices carry a happier tone. It’s fun to watch this happen. Our idea-gathering questions, notation charts and keepsake memory recording charts are available to print out in portable document format (.pdf).

The Holiday Traditions: Interview! is designed for one-on-one interview work. Organize an interview at your next family gathering. Take it along for a visitation to interview a loved one during the holidays. Your notes can be organized on H.I.P.’s Idea Gathering Chart.

H.I.P.’s Idea Gathering Chart provides the writer direction as he or she begins to gather details for autobiography recording. This one-page chart provides notation space for the following life story subtopics:

  • Title Box: Title, Author, Date,
  • Physical Description, Memorable Qualities,
  • Roles, Influences, Accomplishments,
  • Background, Education, Skills,
  • Relations, Friendships, Groups, Regional Ties,
  • Events, Occasions,
  • Routines, Customs, Viewpoints.
