Use found art, ticket stubs, anything and everything to not just tell about your experiences but to show them too. Each week, at least one page is due. Pages will be checked at the end of class every week. The final project entails the finished journal with a finalized cover. Projects will be graded on creativity and visual elements.
Microthemes: You have three microthemes. In place of the fourth, you will be divided up into groups to create bulletin boards for the floor on an educational theme of their choosing. Topics must be chosen in advance, and bulletin boards must be completed by following Monday.
