Using a page from a discarded book my students write a short story, learn about illustration and create a work of art. This activity incorporates visual arts, language arts and recycling. I have done this project with all ages, beginner readers can produce pleasing results as long as they can identify one word. More proficient readers and artists can elaborate and create several pages.

Signing UpStep 1: Supplies
The supplies are simply an old discarded book, I like a book printed on a non glossy paper, few drawings or existing illustrations, with fairly large type. a variety of art materials that one can draw or paint with (collage also works ) I have found that cray-pas are not a good medium for this project because they are so soft and difficult to control. A larger base paper and a glue stick.
