It's the assignment you've all been waiting for: the memory book. Your assignment is to gather material for a scrapbook that will cover the last four years of your life. Treat it as a document of your high school career. Please start with a LARGE book, not one of the wee little books that you can find some places. Get a BIG one (12 X 12).
For each year of high school, you are required to have at least four pages organized into the following categories, but not limited to the examples provided:
(1) Student Life -- school-related stuff, friends, sports, spirit groups
(2) Personal Life -- family, faith and friends
(3) News/Culture -- focus on what you personally were into or affected by

NOTE: Two sheets front and back for every year = 16 total pages (8 sheets). You can certainly go over this minimum requirement.
Although everyone is required to use these same basic categories, consider them as starting points. You can break each category into sections if you'd like. Use headings and titles for each section. Use copies of photos or printouts for images. You can use text and graphics, as well. You can find pop culture and current events for each year of high school on the Internet.
Headings are very important -- print or cut out headings and headlines, or create your own.

The grade is divided into two equal parts:
- format/requirements/content
- organization/clarity/design
Basically, you'll get the points if you follow directions....
Now get those corner cutters out and get started! Seriously, bring all of your stuff to class these next few days. We'll do a bit of writing, but most of the time will be spent putting your books together and getting ready for the final.
Memory Books are DUE MONDAY OF FINALS (5/4)
