I've been finalizing what I want to make as sample projects for the in-service day I am developing for my teachers. While I knew I would finish my paper and soft circuit projects from class, I decided to also make an "illuminated" haiku book. I've been researching guides for writing haiku and am having fun playing around with language and imagery related to "light" - sun, moon, streetlight, stars, shining waves, fireflies etc. I'm off to Maine for 2 weeks starting Wednesday so am packing up materials to create/finish all the projects while I relax on a camp porch. Perhaps I'll send you a picture! Speaking of which, here is the cover for the Haiku book. I used some homemade paper I had at home and will bind it with a 2 whole punch, a bamboo skewer and 2 rubber bands.
I've also started preparing 2 documents. One is a general resource page that provides maker ideas for individual content areas. The other is specific to paper and soft circuits and gives links to directions for many projects and also Common Core and NGSS Standards for the projects I am making.
love the haiku idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is the third time this month I've come across the intersection of making and poetry. I hope we get to see the project in progress... keep posting pictures and progress reports. This is a fab idea.
