Memory Book (100 points):  During this course, you will write a book about you.  It will consist of your memories and thoughts from your whole life.  It will be due on December 4, 2007, but you must work on it daily in order to complete it on time without rushing.  The final product must include the following 15 chapters and the epilogue and will be presented to me in one of the following formats:

  1. A small (1/2 inch or 1 inch) binder; or
  2. Power Point Presentation; or
  3. DVD Movie (if you prefer another format, please discuss it with me first).
