As you work on your memory books this week and next, you should also be working on the end-of-year writing assignments. I've given you a handout (if you were on class):
- A letter to your future self -- imagine yourself four years from now...where will you be, and what will you be doing? Is it what you planned? What do you hope to remember about NOW? What's important? Address your future self in a letter (standard form), and enclose it in a self-address envelope. I won't read it, but I do need to know you've done it, so don't seal it.
- A reflective poem or paragraph that will serve as the introduction to your memory book. What is your overall impression of your high school years? What do you want to remember most?
- Finally, write a poem about your senior class (or graduation). The form and tone of the poem is up to you: funny, serious or sad; rhyming couplets, ballad, or free verse. However you write it, though, please take it seriously. A copy of this poem should go in your memory book, so change the font style and color to suit your tastes.
The poems are due on Monday 4/27
