Zines and kids

[used_songs]

I went to a professional development for teachers on arts integration and the presenter was this fantastic elementary school teacher who has his kids do so many cool projects. In particular, he had a bunch of different zines (and more zines) his kids had made that he showed us. I was really surprised that none of the other participants seemed to have even heard of zines; he kept saying, "It's like magazine" which was really kind of cute. Anyway, the note catcher he gave us for the session was in the form of a similar zine (the one sheet of paper folded to make a 4 page booklet), so maybe there'll be some new zine projects in some of the classrooms!

I'm thinking I will have my students create zines this upcoming school year on a topic of their choice.
