Memory Book

Seniors, your Memory Book assignment is due May 1st, the Friday before final exams. The basic requirements are below:
  • Either hard copy (12x12) or electronic version
  • Four FULL pages per year of high school for a total of at least sixteen
  • A title page that includes name and introductory note or poem (can be short but must be original - needs to introduce your book and be reflective of your high school experience)
  • Sections on items related to school life, life outside of school, and current events/trends
  • Some combination of images and text on each page (label all pics)
HERE IS YOUR GALLERY OF MEMORIES

 AP students should be working on EXAM #2 from your workbook. Be prepared to meet at lunch Wednesday to discuss. There are lots of great resources out there, but this one has links to practice exams and even rhetorical terms note cards, and this one has sample writing prompts with graded essays from previous exams.

Homework

Seniors Your exam is on Thursday, and your final essay is on Friday. I'll talk more about the essay in class tomorrow.

We will spend a bit of time tomorrow in class writing down some of your fondest memories of your senior year, and the rest of your time at RO.  Sophomores Read "Lines Composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey," and complete the questions at the end of the selection in your book. As always, please use complete sentences and cite frequently from the text.
