[greenbriar]

[ColbertWatcher]

5. That is very cool!

But, close-ups would be nice too!

[greenbriar]

12. sorry

It is the only picture I have

[ColbertWatcher]

14. Aww, well they look like they have loads of info on them.

And they look pretty intricate.

Hope the kids had fun making them!

[greenbriar]

4. okay, I am sad now. I expected many

ohhhhhhhhhh and awwwwwwwwwwws by now

[ColbertWatcher]

6. Everyone is discussing the breaking news of the day: Shamwow guy beat up the Octomom.

Or something.

I wasn't paying attention.

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. That is awesome! The kids must be so proud! :^D

[greenbriar]

16. when I hung them up the kids all wanted to find theirs

and I really don't have a problem with them hitting them around

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. Awesome!

I want the directions!! How did you make those?

[greenbriar]

10. 12 pentagrams stapled together

I don't have it electronically so I can't send you it email, but if you pm me your addy, I will send you the templates in card stock.

it works for any subject you need.

I had the students research 10 issues and then one panel was the label and the other panel was the shape of the country and the flag

[greenbriar]

17. did you want me to send you my templates?

just pm me

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. I think I can figure out how to do this

If not, I will PM you.

What kind of paper did you use? Looks like card stock?

[greenbriar]

20. the frame is cardstock then I had the students put the work on regular

white copy paper, but you don't have to...

I just think it allows their work to stand out better.


We had all kinds of colors

Hot pink
dark green
Neon Green
Blue
Red
Purple
Brown
Orange
tan

and I let the students choose their colors. I just told them they needed 12

some went two, two ect

Some did 6 and 6

Some mixed and matched and some went all one color

The entire room is raining globes and it looks fantastic and spring like

[psychmommy]

9. oooooh and ahhhhhh.

they are very nice. i would like to see a close up. it looks like a good project for kwanzaa.

[greenbriar]

11. It is the only picture I have

sorry

[lunatica]

13. So now they know more about Africa than most people do

And they'll always know where to find it and it's countries on a map!

I wish teachers would do that about the Middle Eastern countries to educate the kids about the real cultures rather than the warmongering labels.

[greenbriar]

15. I do projects like this with every continent

we did the middle east just as indepth

we also covered the major world religions. The small flipchart in the same pictures is the 5 major world religions.

[The Straight Story]

18. I think I missed that thread, looks like an interesting idea
