Poetry Book Making 1

The Grade 7 rounded off their Poetry unit in English last week with a Poetry Slam and now they are bringing their work into the Art class to make a bound book of their own writing. We have spent the lasts few weeks making a mock book/template to work from.

Grade 7 you have at this point; figured out how many sheets (1 sheet = 4 pages) you need in your book, what colour they will be and what will be on each of them. Over the next three weeks you will be spending every lesson steadily creating the contents for each page by writing out your poems and illustrating the pages. The week before Spring Break we will spend the time in class actually sewing the pages, making the covers and binding your Poetry Books.
