Make a Smash Book!!

We are asking all students to bring in a ziplock bag full of personal artifacts such as:
- ticket stubs
- awards
- special cards from loved ones
- brochures from special places you’ve been to or want to visit
- minimum of 10 photographs (printed on photo paper so they won’t bleed when glued)
- anything else you might want to add to a page.
- pictures from the Internet (printed on photo paper so they won’t bleed when glued)
- Optional: a pre-made smash book (We will provide 3-ring binders to anyone that wants one)

Who is your hero?
What qualities does this person have that you admire? Describe this person in enough detail so others will see the special qualities that you see in this person. ~ Design a page in your smash book dedicated to this person. ~ Use patterned papers to design a mat to go under your writing. ~ Find photos or images of this person, or showing what this person stands for. |
Vacations!
Where are some locations you have visited, or dream of visiting? Think about what it is that you do, or would like to do in this location. Describe what it looks like using vivid vocabulary. Or write a poem or song about this favorite spot. Then, find photos or images that match this topic. Think about what captions you can add to these images. When designing your page layout, consider changing the placement of the title. Try several different layout options before you glue them down. Play around until you find one that is different than you have tried before. |
Bucket List
What is on your bucket list? You know, those experiences you must have in your lifetime? Go crazy, dream big-but be realistic, too. You never know, one day you may look back and feel content knowing you did everything on your bucket list! Try to list at least 10 or more. Use a variety of marker colors (or fonts and colors if you use the computer to create this!) Then add small images or doodles of you doing some of these activities! |
