Cartooning class.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 1 comments link this post::Here are the documents and examples I used in a two-hour cartooning summer art class in Langdon. The students were in the 6th - 8th grade range.::
About the class: The class was a very basic introduction into cartooning. I did not teach it as a "how to draw" kind of class, but rather, an introduction into things to consider in setting up a one-panel and multiple-panel cartoon. We discussed dialog/thought balloons, character development, use of visual elements to help tell the story (since students tended to try to cram too much dialog in instead of using the images to do that work), and more.
My notes:
- Pre-planning, brainstorming, and class summation
- Cartooning class examples: Diagrams and discussion used on the board and with the students; examples using the worksheets that the students used

For Teachers: Biomes.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this postThis project sheet explains how to make a biome, or a three-dimensional display that your students can create out of simple materials (colored paper, glue, etc.). It's a great way to learn about ecosystems or make a low-cost diorama of favorite stories or other scenes.

For Teachers: Butterfly book.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this postUsed with a kindergarten class, this book becomes a young butterfly enthusiast's dream. Students look up different butterflies on the internet or in books, and then draw and number them on the opposing blank side, and then record other information about them in their butterfly book.

For Teachers: Detective kit.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this postCreated for my ten-year-old nephew (when he was into reading the Hardy Boys), this project sheet has printable secret code charts, fingerprint graphs, and other items that, along with a magnifying glass, non-toxic washable ink pad, soft makeup brush and powdered charcoal or graphite, allow any young detective a head start on the bad guys. There are labels that can be cut out and glued onto manila file folders.

Ideas for hand-made books.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this postMaking a book seems like a daunting project, but it doesn't have to be. This project sheet gives you a number of examples of very simple books that can even be made by young children. I've used some of these book projects while teaching in elementary school workshops, and most students not only find it easy but have a blast making their own book.
