I've decided to share in the joy of scrapbooking with the seniors this year! I've never been much of a scrapbook kind of person, but I figure if you have to do it, I should do it as well. Also, it gives me a place to put all of the "artifacts" I have been collecting for years without proper places to store them.
We just finished with the 2008 seniors during May; the books, for the most part, were amazingly good! Those who procrastinated were MISERABLE during the weeks before the due date. Those who planned ahead were smugly enjoying and sharing their books with their friends. I vote that you plan ahead rather than spend the last weeks of your senior year staying up till 3 am, pasting photos and thinking up evil curses for anyone who ever had anything to do with the senior scrapbook.
I will tell you that I have already put in lots of time just going through pictures and dividing sections. If you really want to save yourself some time when the hectic pace of school is in full swing, check out the scrapbook guidelines I have posted on my teacher web page and begin thinking about your book. If you are really feeling on the ball, go ahead and get your actual book over the summer. It needs to be 50-100 pages altogether (that includes the writings), so you'll probably have to get filler pages as well.
For a cheaper options, use a three ring binder with page protectors or a simple photo album.
Also, remember that AP students also have the option of doing a cultural anthology or a video scrapbook. I've put those guidelines on the LINKS page as well.
Post any questions here!
