translation x2

#1 The older students would enjoy making the Altered Book. I would use small children's "golden books" for the basic support, not too many spreads. Theme the books "When I grow up". They could use the transfer methods of tape and glue ,cut and paste and some painting. I try to encourage them to think big and into the future and envision all the things they want be and do.
#2 The mini project book.
Kids love to make books and this could be a easy book to make, cardboard and copy paper. I think 2nd or 3rd grades would be good targets for this project. FCAT includes measurment with a ruler and they could learn that while they cut and assemble the back/front and pages.
Make it with 4 spreads and have the kids find 4 objects in the classroom that have some kind of connection, which they have to discribe in the book in words. All images must be as large as the whole spread, so if it is a chair it will be the size of both pieces of paper, filling the picture with one item.
