You are going to explore the magical moments in your life by assembling a Magic moments scrapbook/treasure chest.
Your scrapbook can contain photos, drawings, or written work.
Your treasure chest can contain artifacts, and larger art projects.
You can combine the two by compiling a treasure chest and a scrapbook,
and putting the scrapbook in the treasure chest.
Both the scrapbook and the treasure chest should be decorated in a way
which is “YOU.”
You will have a minimum of 8 objects in your project – 4 visual and 4
written. Meeting the minimum
requirements will get you a C. If
you want to try for an A you will need a minimum of 12 objects – 6 visual and
6 written.
I will be giving you suggestions for the types of moments you might want
to memorialize as we are reading, and I am sure you will think up magic moments
of your own. Be creative, have fun,
and really think of the magic that you have found in the world around you.
