Tree of Memoirs

A classic Christmas tree with student-made ornaments is brought to life with this century technology. At first glance, this library Christmas tree seems like any other, but look through the lens of the HP Reveal app to see it come to life!

I had the privilege of working with each middle schooler to create a 6-word memoir about an experience of their choice. I always learn so much about my students when they are given a chance to write about experiences that are important to them. Each ornament has a video of the author reciting their memoir. Students can use their phones or library iPads to unveil the videos.

The library will be open for parents and grandparents to view the tree and shop the Scholastic Book Fair on December 9-13 from 11:00-11:30 and December 17 from 5:30-8:00.
