Your memory box
Artist’s Statement

Your heading should include your real name, your character’s name and your class code. If you’d like, you may title your box.

1. Worst Copy (Rough Draft)

You are invited to write as though your character is writing this.
Include the following information:

• What is in the box?
• Why/how was it selected?
• What is the object’s significance? How does it relate to your character?
• How does it relate to the time period?

2. Better Copy

When you are finished with your first copy, have someone at your table do the editing. After making editing changes, check to see if you can make any improvements on your statement. Don’t forget to use powerful words.  Don’t forget to spell correctly.

3. Best Copy

After you have made all of the changes and your artist’s statement is a wonder to behold, email a final copy to me using Times New Roman font, size 14.  Return all hard copies to me in the classroom folder.

Thanks,
Ms. Hillmer
