Photo Journal
Grades: 5-8
Purpose:
For students to identify, examine, and analyze their sporting, leisure
and recreation pursuits and present results as a pictorial collage.
Directions:
On a large piece of construction paper, create a collage of images that
depict your involvement in leisure, sport, and recreational activities.
Refer to various magazines for images; cut out those that best represent
you. Paste or tape them onto the sheet of construction paper in any kind
of eye-appealing manner. You may label any images for clarity. Be sure
to write your name in large letters and centered at the top and supply
a title for your poster.
Upon Submission:
Have students present their work to the class or in small groups or
have students examine someone else’s poster and write a paragraph describing
what messages the poster conveys. Hang all posters from the walls or ceiling
of the class or gymnasium. Repeat every other year to see how students’
self-image changes over time.
