Seniors ~ Memory Book

Now that your introduction and concluding poem have been turned in (hopefully), I've been asked to post the requirements for the entire project. Although we will not work on this until the week after break - while we are reviewing for the final - there are some supplies to gather.

First, the assignment requires that you include pictures and memorabilia from all four years of high school. You can print pictures professionally, or you can print them on your own - from Facebook, the RO website, the Internet, your computer. You should include at least the following:

• At least FOUR pages (two sheets, front and back) for each year = SIXTEEN total (or eight sheets, front and back)
  
• Organize chronologically, ending with your senior year
• Include information related to school - academics, arts, athletics - as well as special events
• Include information related to your interests - religion, music, film, games, trends, etc.
• Include information related to the news - important events (i.e. Obama's election, Japan earthquake)
• LABEL everything - create your own in Word, use stickers, or write directly on the page
• Include the PROSE piece at the beginning and the POEM at or near the end
  

As noted, you will also need to get some supplies. The bare minimum is a 12x12 scrapbook with at least 8 pages. You might also want to get some "page protectors" that slip over the pages once they've been created. There are no extra points for including shiny 3-D stickers, but you are welcome to decorate and to be as creative as you'd like. There are also backgrounds for virtually every topic. All of these things are available at Hobby Lobby, usually on sale. You can also get supplies at Michael's or WalMart, and I'm sure there are other places, as well.

Remember above all else, this is for your own benefit, so include things YOU would like to remember. The GRADE is based on my basic requirements.
