Memoir
Our task was to write a few pages reflecting on a life changing event that we experienced. We had to reflect on our thought, feelings, and observations. In addition to this, the memoir had to reveal how that event influenced the identity you have today. My memoir was about coming out of my comfort zone and not being to shy anymore. My great Drama teacher helped me do this throughout middle school.
TEDtalk
Our TEDtalks were based on informative and persuasive information. Our class had to pick a topic to research and get information on. We gathered statistics about that topic and presented it to our class. I chose the topic of sleeping and informed and persuaded people to get more sleep because of the many benefits and affects of sleep and getting no sleep. We went through a long process of writing out our script and making changes to it to make it perfect for us to present. In the end, we voted for the best speeches to be presented in front of the entire 9th grade.
