]]>If your students need to do a family history report, a family tree, immigration report, homeland report, or report on a historical time period, a heritage style scrapbook would be a great way to present the information. This is an actual picture of my great great grandmother and her three daughters.
Any type of biography would make a great digital scrapbook. You can find a lot of historical photographs and documents online at the American Memory Collection. Below is a scrapbook page about the world famous aviatrix, Bessie Coleman. (It also was created for this week’s Stampin’ Addicts Scrapbook Sketch Challenge.)
The final page I wanted to show you could be used for a book report. How great would it be to have a every student in the class do a two-page spread as a book report, then make them all into one book that students could look through when they wanted to find something to read? I would love to put something like that in my library!
What other ideas do you have for digital scrapbooking in the classroom?
]]>One of the main reasons that teaching visual literacy is important is that children believe everything they see. By learning the basics of design, they will see how to manipulate images, as well how to communicate effectively through them. This will open their eyes up to the messages other people are sending via imagery.
]]>But even if you are not nearby, I have a fabric project for you today. This is another one from the Stampin’ Up website.

I bet your wondering how I stamped that fabulous “Happy Purim” at the bottom. I did it with the magic of Stampin’ Write Markers. I took “Happy P” from the “Happy Birthday Princess” stamp — see below — and then used the Calendar Alphabet and Numbers set to finish the word.
Pretty sneaky, huh?
