Learning a new program can be difficult, but by creating a Summer Scrapbook, students can learn while having fun! They will browse or search for different artwork and get to know how to manipulate images while teaching others about what they did over summer vacation.
Using the template provided, students will create a scrapbook of pictures about their summer using Storyboard That art. The template does not have a section for writing, but teachers can easily add one in or have the students write about their scrapbook page on a separate piece of paper if desired. Students will enjoy sharing their experiences with their peers, and should be encouraged to take turns presenting their scrapbook to their classmates.

Objective: Create a scrapbook page using text and illustrations that highlights your summer vacation.
Student Instructions:
Encourage students to give feedback on each other's scrapbooks by setting up a peer-review station. This helps build communication skills and gives everyone a chance to share ideas in a supportive environment.
Arrange students in groups of 3-4 and have them take turns showcasing their scrapbook pages. Small groups offer a safe space for students to practice presenting and listening.
Demonstrate how to give feedback by highlighting what you liked about a sample scrapbook and asking thoughtful questions. This sets the tone for respectful peer interactions.
Give students prompts like "I liked how you..." or "Your picture made me think of..." to scaffold their responses and make feedback easier for all learners.
Lead a quick discussion asking students to share what they learned from their peers' scrapbook pages. Reflection builds classroom community and reinforces listening skills.
