End of the Year Activities and Lesson Plans

End-of-the-Year Literacy Scrapbook

This is a fun activity that is similar to a portfolio. You need to do some planning and start this early in the year.
One end-of-the-year idea that is similar to a photo scrapbook is to make a "Literary Scrapbook". All of the kids put their favorite writing pieces together in one book. This is especially nice to see writing growth from the beginning of the year to the end. After gathering all of the pieces, have the students decorate a cover, make copies for each student, and then bind their individual copies. You can also laminate the cover for durability. (This may be an idea to save for next year and work on saving pieces throughout the year just for this scrapbook.)
