Senior Memory Book
During this term you will write your senior memory book consisting of memories
and thoughts from your whole life. It will be due toward the end of the 4th quarter, but
you must begin now and work on it for the remainder of this term in order to complete it
on time without rushing. The final project can be presented in several ways. Some
students make it a scrapbook project, others use a 3 ring binder, and some have even used
video.
GRADING:
If your senior memory book is complete and shows creativity and thought, your
grade will be no less than a 75%. The more thorough and the more creative you are in
decorating your book, pages, and sections with drawings, pictures, photographs, and stuff
cut out of magazines or newspapers or brochures, the higher your grade will be. Any
book that does not contain all 15 chapters will receive a lower grade, regardless of how
fancy it is. Any book that is a bunch of “junk” will not receive a grade. Any book
handed in late will receive a D.
Your senior memory book must include the following 5 chapters (some flexibility is
allowed).
