DescriptionPen and Paper Method

1. The students will collect memorable items to be included in a scrapbook. The items should be collected along a certain theme. For example, the students may want to do a scrapbook for or about an individual person such as a child, a spouse, or themselves, for or about their family, The instructor may have the students create a scrapbook using the information and assignments from this unit on memories.

2. The instructor or the students may use any method they wish to create the scrapbook. The most common way is to use binders and plastic sheet covers to protect the pages. The completion of the scrapbook will depend on each program’s availability of funds and/or materials.

3. The instructor may want someone to come in to discuss creative scrap-booking techniques. With the growing popularity of Creative Memories, the instructor may be able to find a local resident who is willing to come in and share their expertise. There are Internet sites that will provide ideas as well. See the resources text box on the next page.

The students will use the features of the word processing program to create pages for their scrapbooks. Features such as WordArt, ClipArt, Borders, Font size and style, Font colour, AutoShapes, etc. may be used to make creative pages. If the students are not yet skilled enough in the program to create the entire page on the word processor, have them use only certain features of the program. They may then cut and paste the items onto their scrapbook pages.
