• Present ideas in a logical sequence.
• Elaborate ideas clearly and accurately.
• Revise writing for depth of information and technique of
presentation.
• Edit final copies for correct use of language, spelling,

Final Product: A portfolio of academic, professional, and personal

Goal: Students will create a wonderful memory of their senior year


while writing over 3,000 words detailing and reflecting on their current
experiences as well as their goals beyond high school.

Objectives:

1. Students will be able to write in a voice and style appropriate for


audience and purpose.
2. Students will be able to produce legible work that shows
accurate spelling and correct use of the conventions of
punctuation and capitalization.
3. Students will be able to represent information in a variety of
ways.

Materials:

• One 2in or larger 3-ring binder, portfolio or scrapbook


• Page protectors (if necessary)
• 30 memorable items/photos/artifacts per student
• Any markers, special pens, and/or creative papers necessary to
create an imaginative final project

Student Procedure:
Throughout the coming school year, collect and save artifacts that hold
a significant meaning for you and your journey through this final year
as a high school student and soon-to-be independent adult.
• Each nine weeks, collect 7-8 items (or more) that, though
perhaps insignificant to others, holds special memories of events
to you. You will be allowed this first nine weeks to include two
items from this past summer.
• You will have almost complete freedom in selecting items for
inclusion, but remember that this writing is 'public.' People here
at school and your family will see your work.
• Memento ideas: photographs from events you’ve attended,
speeding tickets, warning stickers for parking violations, ticket
stubs, newspaper clippings, gum/candy wrappers (not sticky),
matchbooks, menus, acceptance/rejection letters from colleges,
programs, mum (corsage, etc.), spirit ribbons, medals, etc.
• It is crucially important that you put thought into your work. Be
CREATIVE and selective, choosing pieces and events that hold
special significance emotionally and will give your audience
insight into your life.
• There will be several ‘special’ pages added to the regular
memory pages. These will include, but may not be limited to, a
teacher appreciation letter, a community recommendation letter,
a thank you letter, a formal college entrance essay, and a
reflective essay.

Required Elements:
• Your final product must contain at least 30 entries, type written
using 12pt font and double spaced. It is highly likely that you will
have many more pages and extra credit will be awarded to those
who go above and beyond initial requirements.
• Each entry must be at least 100 words and be written in a
manner that allows your reader to relive your emotional
connection with the event and its importance through your
successful use of imagery and details.
• Initial assignments may be turned in using your normal
handwriting, but the final product must be typed.
• Please be sure to DATE each of your entries so
that when you look back at the entries years from
now, you’ll have a frame of reference.
• Entries will be due twice a quarter; at
interim time and during the final week of
the nine weeks. Due dates are as follows:

• Write about the items as you collect them—don't leave it all for
the night before the due date as the rushing will definitely show
in your work.
• You will receive a daily grade for the items and entries each nine
weeks—points deducted for not following directions, not turning
in all sections, not writing enough, etc.
• During the last quarter of the year, you will put everything
together for final assessment as a test grade.

Final Instructions:

• Design a cover page for your book. Include your name, the
school year, and a timeless quotation from something we read
together in class this year as your motto—either as a summation
of your year, a description of yourself, a projection for the future,
etc.
• All entries should be placed in chronological order and should
face one another so that each page is covered with something to
see and read.
• The order that you scrapbook should take will be shared with you
prior to the final due date.

scrapbooks:

• Properly selected book and items fitting into it neatly

• Overview of your year/Reflective Essay
• Letter of gratitude to a teacher
