A School Assignment

I did not know what else to write for this week’s journals, so I decided to about the scrapbook I created while I was in high school.

I have kept a black and pink binder in my room since ninth grade because it reminds me of my high school years. First of all, my AVID teacher, Mr. Stokes, introduced the final project to the class. It consisted of collecting pictures, letters, and assignments from any time of our high school course. He told the class to collect pictures. These pictures could be of family members, friends, teachers, parties, field trips, football games, dances, assemblies, anything. He also told the class to ask our dearest friends and teachers to write us some “words of wisdom”. The lastly, Mr. Stokes told to the class to go through all the assignments being done during that year, 2006, and choose three of the ones we were very proud of because we got a good grade or an encouraging comment from the teacher. This seemed to be a fun and exciting project, however, I did not want to do it because I thought it was a waste of time. It had nothing to do with academics or the class. To be exact, I had no desire to complete the project for the reason that I had few pictures and assignments I could used.
