Students select a pattern to follow and decide on the title, setting, characters, events, etc. for their own book, outlining them for the teacher to review. Students write the text for their book, turning it in for corrections before copying it onto the actual pages of the book. Hand back corrected texts and give explicit instructions for creating the book. You might want to give the students class time to work on their book. Set a date to share books.
Students read books to younger foreign language students.
Students share their memories from their school career, and the teacher compiles a list of the most memorable events. Of those listed students tell their favorite and the teacher graphs the information to show the most popular aspects of school life. To practice the vocabulary students illustrate the activities and make caption labels for them. Do activities and games involving matching the captions to the drawings. Begin activities necessary for creating each page of the memory book.
