AP-12 Literature and Composition My High School Years Final Project For this final assignment, you are to reflect on your life at Green Hope High School. Choose at least 5 pictures that represent five important events in your high school life that have made you the person you are today at graduation. These pictures must be either digital pictures or must be scanned into the computer so that they can be technically manipulated on the Internet site Picassa or other cite recommended by the Media Specialists. These pictures will provide the backdrop for your 1-2 minute narration of your high school life. Since you may not be able to coincide the pictures with your narration, you should write a general reflection on your time in high school and the respective events that you are referring to. This reflection will be read while the pictures slowly move from one to another. Again, do not say “In this picture. . .” because it may not correspond with the picture. Other websites you can use are Photo Story or Animoto. To record your narration you much use Audicity.
