Assignment:
"retell" – In class you will partner with a classmate and share your first distinct memory. Using the GarageBand software "retell" the story in a 1-3 minute audio piece. Your project should be based on this memory, but you are not required to retell the story exactly as it was told to you - you have creative license to embellish, exagerate, extrapolate, interpolate the story to generate a compelling narrative. That said, you should try to respect the original story (and the person who told it) so as not to misrepresent them.
