30for30: Favorite Assignments #8

In just 36 days, the LHS Class of 1989 will celebrate its 30th high school reunion (on Saturday, March 30, 2019 at 7pm in the back room of the infamous Downtown Lounge) ... which is why I've been posting these special TOP 30 lists (see previous lists of Jukebox Memories and Most Memorable Teachers/Staff).

This month ... it's all about the top 30 favorite assignments (see rules below) -- and that means I'm going into the archives and going way way way back to duotang folders in a bin in storage, most of which that have not even been OPENED for the last three decades.

Next up -- a final visit to the ENGLISH folder for round three, where I pulled essays/papers/writing assignments from each of the grades, mostly to prove that this "me liking words" thing has been happening for a good long time.  Truth be told -- I almost always turned in double (or triple) the amount of pages that was required ... and sometimes I went controversial (see my tirade against my gym teacher Mr. Heilman where I may have gone too far by invoking Godwin's Law [you know if you know]) ... but mostly I just poured my heart into those pages.  Note that the research paper on the right got me in trouble with my classmates, who weren't happy that I was getting SO much feedback from my teacher (and they weren't).  And, of course, this being the late 80's, almost everything was hand written in cursive -- a lost art, I'm sure.

RULES FOR THIS TOP 30 LIST:  These are MY favorite assignments.  They may also be YOUR favorite assignments -- but they may not be, especially since it's quite conceivable that you have NO favorite assignments.  My grades, though, were pretty good ... so, you know ... hence this particular countdown.  No negativity or other comments about hoarding will be permitted (after all -- hoarders wouldn't know where [most] of their things are and they wouldn't be so [mostly] organized ... so SHUT YOUR MOUTH about that).  The poster is not responsible for any reappearance of any repressed memories you might have about anything that is included in this series.  Note:  due to the fewer number of days in February, two posts of this kind will show up on Sundays.
