Directions for the collage project

What does living in America mean to you?

Please use:

-At least three phrases AND
-At least three individual words AND
-At least ten images

to create your collage. We will have class time on Wednesday and Thursday to work on this project.

You can use magazine scraps, drawings, words, or a combination, as long as you include all sections.

If you have questions, please see Mr. Rideout or Mrs. Patterson's examples. Everyone's collages will look different! This project is about showing us what living in America means to YOU. Not everyone will feel the same way.
