Puzzle Project: We All Fit In.

One of our first projects for both 7th & 8th grade will be titled: We All Fit In.  Each student is given a large piece of foam poster board, cut in the shape of a puzzle piece, on which he/she has to make a collage showing his/her life, interests and souvenirs.  Many students add old photographs, pictures cut from magazines, drawings, little items from home, etc. to illustrate themselves.  When they finish their puzzle piece, they have to stand up in front of the class and tell us about all the things on their collage. The students will then work together to complete their puzzle (7th & 8th grade will be two separate puzzles).  I will make a piece as well - after all, I am a part of this class too. :)
