The Memoir Final Project has been assigned. Students have viewed samples of the completed project and are finishing their current writing territory and poems this week. We will be in the Mac Lab next week during class, and the final project is due on Wednesday, May 20. Students may turn in the project earlier if they desire. Please refer to the handout located to the right of this blog for more specific information.
