During Chapter 3, we're going to be doing a creative little partner project. It will be due next Friday, October 2nd.
In addition to developing our math knowledge, we will be developing art/design skills, making our own story problems, and also teaching new content!
This will be done through 'zines, which are self-published, cheap, and DIY magazines. They can be a very powerful tool and they're just fun to experience!
If you ever find yourself in an independent bookstore, they probably have a 'zine section. These are normally made up of photographs, comics, journals, and very niche/specific content.
We're basing these projects on this Cool Tutorial. Click the link if you want! Do your own research to find inspiration too!
So you and your partner need to work together to create 6 pages of content and a front and back cover. That means there are 8 pages total, and they all need to fit on one side of a single sheet of paper. So we need to design these as small pages.
I will be handling the cutting of the paper, but you folks will need to design the layout and supply the art. We will be borrowing magazines and colored pencils from Miss Hensley next week to work on these!
Project requirements:
Create 6 pages of content. This is a very flexible project, so each page can be full of color and images, or very sparse and clean. No page can be completely blank.
Cover one section of Chapter 3. Your options are 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5. This can be done using any of the following: Definitions, practice problems, conceptual descriptions, images, drawing, and/or photographs, etc, You must include at least one "story problem."
Create a title for your 'zine. You do not have to put your name on it if you don't want to.
Use your creativity and check in with me if you have a crazy idea that you want to try!
You will need to fill out this sheet in class Monday, so be ready to answer these questions:
