Explanation of Project In a photo essay, you should be photographed with the one thing you value most. Think about the item that you would put into your book bag like Hollis does in Pictures of Hollis Woods.
 * 1) **** One Item Photo Essay **

TO DO: Find an important object in your life and take a photo with it and be prepared to discuss why this is your one keepsake.

Find someone that you respect and whose life you would like to emulate. It can be a family member, public figure, or personal acquaintance who has done or is doing something with their life that you respect. Remember that by choosing a sports figure or singer also means that you appreciate the other elements of their life and what they support. So be sure to discuss with your family and research your person fully before settling on them.
 * 2) You in Two**

TO DO: Research and select a person whose footsteps you would like to follow in. Find a picture of them and write a paragraph about what they are doing/have done with their life that you respect. Finally, state why you would like to emulate their life. Be sure to cite any books or websites that you may use.

Choose a message that is near to your heart and discover a creative way to express that in only three words. Examples can be viewed below: @http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerindex?id=9519713
 * 3) Your Three Words to Save the World **

TO DO: Write a three word message that you think the world needs to hear.

If a movie was being made about your life right now, which 4 songs would have to be used. These 4 songs should stand out to you as defining that period of your life. You may choose a song that was on when a big milestone occurred and it reminds you of that time. Perhaps you'll select a s ong that you couldn't fall asleep without listening to, or the song that you listened to non-stop for an entire year. In some way there should be a strong connection to you and each of the songs. If you decide you need a song to capture a certain mood, this may become a helpful link: @http://songsofidentity.tumblr.com/ TO DO: Share the title, singer and a paragraph describing the connection to each song.
 * 4) Soundtrack to Your Life **

5) ** Bucket List: ** Make a list of must do's at some point in your life, as though they are goals that you want to accomplish by a certain point in time.

TO DO: Create a list of 50 things you would like to accomplish before your time is up in Middle School or before you turn 30. Choose your end date, and be sure to include that in your Bucket List's title.

6) ** Six Words ** : Share a personal story in six words (not five or seven) using a visual and six words. The visual can be a video or a picture, but there should be a connection between it and your personal story. This should be something that you write and think about over several days. Perhaps you come back to one of your first attempts, but you'll only know if it's right if you word choice may change.  Example below: http://vimeo.com/6161545

TO DO: Write a meaningful 6 word sentence that has a multiple leveled story behind it. Lay it out artistically with a photo or video that connects to the same theme.

Writers Block? Don't limit yourself to 6 words while you're being creative. Write a paragraph or just a random list of words, and see what stands out to you so that it can be revised into being 6 words.

7) **“Day In Your Life” Comic **

TO DO: Choose one of the following:
 * A. ** You may choose to depict an important event from your past—your birth (as you’ve heard it told), a time when you experienced death, a moment of great pride in yourself, etc, etc.
 * B. ** Or, you may choose to depict what a day in your life looks like now—your daily routines, interactions with friends and family, etc.—and what you think about all of it.
