I am going to give you your stories back.
We are going to tell our story in a visual form by creating a mural. You can use
APPROPRIATE magazine pictures, but you must represent your story through this collage
/ mural. This can help us to understand our story in a form other than words. Sometimes,
we do not want our story shared in words for personal reasons; using art to express our
stories and our feelings during these times can serve as a coping mechanism.
Gallery Walk. Put your name on the back of your collage. Pass your collage in. I will
redistribute them on a desk that is not yours. We will do an anonymous gallery walk
around the room.
Gallery Walk. Make note of two collages that you find interesting being sure to include
why your classmates collage interests you.
Exit note: Explain your collage / mural and why you believe it represents your
articulation of “your story.” What images did you choose to you and how do your images
tie into your written story.
