AVID Reading/Novel Study One-Pager EDITABLE

Created by

Enriching Elementary with Amanda

I use these One-Pagers as a final project after we have completed a novel study or story. The template serves as guidelines for students to know how to design their One-Pager. I find they work best on white cardstock or construction paper. You can make them 8.5x11 or 11x17, depending on what you are making and how big you want them to be. I encourage students to be CREATIVE, take their time, use a ruler, and make it look the best they possibly can. It is a great way to show their learning, while

Haiku Tunnel Books: Art & Haiku Writing Project using Postcards for Prompts

Teach Kids Art

Tunnel books are unique and fun! A tunnel book is a three-dimensional movable book that you read by looking through it. Originally from the mid-18th century, tunnel books are enjoying new popularity as an art form in their own right. The tunnel books you've seen may look complicated, but I've developed a method that simplifies the process so that students from 3rd or 4th grade and up can be successful making tunnel books of their own.
