“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero
Dear friends,
Books. One of the greatest treasures we have in this world. Sometimes we need to find new ways to bring books to life and repurpose the old.
Today we bring you project 4 which is a wonderful challenge to make a Christmas tree out of books. Make plan, gather the books, and begin your stacking process! Head on over to Day 4 of 25 Days of Making, as we make a another awesome holiday prop.
Create
Explore all the different ways this can be done. Gather old books not in use anymore from your library or perhaps classrooms. Maybe you have books you can collect as a donation to a local place of need and as they are brought in you could turn it into something beautiful before giving them away. Think of many qya so to create a buzz and interest.
Maybe it is a tree made up of a favorite book title from everyone in your school?
Share
Add your project or any other projects you are working on through these options to share how you approached today’s challenge or the one from yesterday. Then, check out and comment on some other examples when they are shared.
Reflect
This element is important! Don’t neglect reflection on your own learning. We must be lifelong learners and be models to our students.
Take a moment to reflect on your creative process? Create a notebook, use a Google Doc, Evernote, Word Document….. What did you like most about your project? What would you do with it next, if you had more time? What are you planning to do?
Looking forward to hearing your adventures in making
