The article focuses on the annual Memory Matters project introduced by eight grade English teacher Laurie Capponi at Wellwood Middle School in Fayetteville, New York. Students go on field trips to see real-life examples of memorials. After the trips, they select a person or event to memorialize and write a research paper about it. Then, the tangible memorial they created will be presented through a formal speech.
