Memory Project
Create a project or essay that describes your feelings about one theme from the memories that Jonas receives from the Giver. Explore what your life would be like without this memory (ex. color, love, loss, death, sadness, happiness, etc). Projects could include, but are not limited to, a 3-5 page essay, collage, painting, sculpture, oral presentation, board game, etc. Be creative! Your project can be whatever you choose as long as it meets the requirements shown below. Please create a short description of how your project idea meets each requirement, and then discuss this with me in a one-on-one conference to get your idea approved. Students who write essays will be able to turn in drafts in order to receive feedback before they turn in their final copy. Students who create projects will be able to schedule conferences with me in place of a draft in order to receive feedback.
