Brown Paper Bag Book
Objective: To create a book about YOU so the reader will learn something about who you are.
Brown Paper Bag Book
Be creative. Use photos, stickers, stamps, your drawings, images or words cut from magazines, newspapers or computers. Create a collage, try a pop-out page, frame your photos or cut and paste images together to create a single picture. Use things that “symbolize” who you are: photo of a cup “1/2 FULL” because you always have a positive outlook, an image of a feather blowing in the wind because you are carefree and easily go with the flow of things.
Important: All words, pictures, images must relate to YOU and who you are. You will need to verbalize why you chose these things and how each item relates to you. (Example: “I drew a picture of a plumeria flower because it’s my favorite flower and I wear it when I dance hula.” “I cut out an image of a car because I collect Hot Wheel toys and mom says I have a motor inside me that never stops.”)
