It's time for the "memory book" assignment, so you'll need to gather supplies and bring everything to class starting Wednesday. We are also doing a couple of assignments in class, including a letter to your future self and a poem. I'll explain in class.
For your "memory book" assignment, you'll need to purchase a couple of things. First, you need a scrapbook from WalMart or Target or Hobby Lobby or Michael's or somewhere. They come in small and large; get the large ("12 X "12). You'll also need at least eight sheets (for a total of sixteen pages). I recommend the kind that are inserted into plastic sleeves. As far as backgrounds and corner cutters and all that, use your best judgement. Some of you will want that stuff, but it's certainly not required.
Remember that you'll need to get some pictures/information together from your high school years (9-12 regardless of school). You'll need to organize information into three basic categories:
- SCHOOL - School-related events and memories, including sports and activities
- LIFE - Anything related to your life outside of school (i.e. family, trips, religion, etc.)
- CULTURE - Anything related to what was going on in the world during your high school years, including politics and pop culture
