The shorter units can occur in a different order in the class than given here, according to the teacher's experience and preferences. Some of these units are presented in more or less detail on individual pages on this website.

Family Yearbook This family yearbook makes a great keepsake that memorializes your year together. Making a family yearbook is a great way to document activities and reflect on the past in a collective and creative setting. Games, trips, recitals, parties, milestones passed, and challenges met over the last year are all worthy to be put in print, and after a few afternoons of work on the project, you'll have preserved these memories for generations to come! What You Need: Two 8” x 11” sheets of poster board (or one 16” x 22” sheet) Blank sheets of computer or laid paper Scissors Scotch tape or glue Black sharpie Colored markers (in lieu of markers, you can type text on your word processor and cut and paste onto pages) What You Do: Pre-production: Discuss what “categories” to include, such as activities, holidays, and travel. This project requires a little work, a ton of creativity and plenty of laughs. Cheri Lucas has her Master's of Fine Arts in Creative Nonfiction.
