COLLAGE ASSIGNMENT
For this assignment -- I am asking you to create a "collage" of images and/or words that
reflects your personal Knowledge of types of ENERGY we have studied in class by ………
showing different types and forms of energy in pictures and words. You must give it a title and
label types of energy you put in your collage.
It might be smart to start with a title to organize your ideas before you begin the collage. Or
make the collage and title it afterward. The process will take you on an interesting line of
thought, if you do it with care. Use your time wisely; you will be given some credit effort and
neatness. Experiment and express yourself however you wish in collage form, but be prepared to
explain your creativity on the back of your collage with intelligent and introspective answers.
Minimum size of your collage must be an 8 ½ x 11" piece of construction paper…go larger if
necessary!
Reflection Questions (answered in complete sentences on a separate piece of loose leaf):
1. Briefly describe the images you included and what they represent. Explain the
theme/meaning of the collage…How or in what manner is it depicting your knowledge of
Energy?
2. Why did you decide on the design you used and what steps did you take when planning
out the creation of your collage?
3. Did any insights/emotions or new understandings come about while making the collage?
Or when viewing your final product? How you feel about your knowledge of types of
Energy or the importance of energy?
