Lucy Calkins' chapter on memoir in The Art of Teaching Writing is a classic,
a masterpiece. If you can get that at your ry or ILL, I promise, you will
love it!

Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] problem-solution stories, fourth grade level
Have you considered short stories?
Also there are memoir compilations (When I Was Young , I think that's the
title), so each memoir would be similar in length to a chapter, but might be
on a higher level. There's a first and second of that book. It's famous YA
and Juvenile authors - each writing a memoir. Also Sandra Cisnos book, name
escapes me right now. I can't remember off the top of my head a specific
one that would be problem/solution, but I would guess that some in there
would be applicable. My books are at school, but I could check them at some
point this week. I've read them all. I used many of the stories in them to
prompt memoir writing. Haven't had my coffee yet, maybe my head and
suggestions will be clearer later. lol
Good luck! Email me personally if you'd like me to look further into what
I've mentioned.

An old man once said, "There comes a time in your life, when you walk away
from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with
people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the
people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short
to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is
living."
