Bookmaking:Final Phase

This week was a great week for us. All of the kids finished their illustrations of the book and some were even able to bind them. Next week we are going to give them the first fifteen minutes of class to finish their books and hopefully have a nice final piece. There were a few things that I think we struggled with this week. The big thing was that a few of the students finished really early and were at a loss of things to do. I guess that would be poor planning on our part but it was hard to anticipate how fast they would go because the previous week was rather slow. We were fortunate enough to have a few bag of model magic in the cabinet and were able to give it to a select few of the kids to share. They would like to use in the following weeks but we are not sure how to fit it in during the second part of our lesson which is performance. Overall though, we were very pleased with all of the illustrations that all off the student did. The bookmaking process seemed to be a very strong project. Next week we are going to introduce them to the different ways of putting on a performance.
