4/8 Classwork (upload memoir, culture vulture
Welcome
Such amazing conversations on finding the "beauty and truth" in your film memoirs, and let us have many more of them today!
*Special Note: our memoirs have unpacked some very raw and painful emotions. If you are struggling with the stuff of your memoir, please speak with me, your parents, your councilor, someone.
Film Memoir

2) read through past ELA 10 book projects for how to write a solid story title, opening sentence, finding resolution at the end without a closing "moral"
3) upload to Turnitin.com. That originality % should be under 3%, unless you wrote basic sentences or plagiarized

Have your film review uploaded today! We start on the film memoir stories on Monday. If you didn't show me your printed review yesterday, do it ASAP.
Film Review Edits
