The concept was simple-- we were going to celebrate the students' writing by having each one pick a favorite passage to display.
The execution was so much more elaborate than I ever could have imagined. I provided the printed copies, but then the kids used scissors, construction paper, markers, colored pencils, glue, and tape to fashion incredibly creative displays of their excerpts. I did not predict their enthusiasm, and it delighted me.
The room was cheerfully boisterous as the artists set about their work, and when all were done, 130 pieces of writing were hung with pride, turning a simple hallway into a multimedia gallery.
A celebration indeed!
