My Scrapbook

What does scrapbook mean?

It is a personal blank book in which various items (tickets, notes, pictures, letters...) are collected and preserved. It can be about a trip you did with your friends or about your family. Nowadays, we take thousands of pictures but once your phone die or you don't have more storage, what do you do? You just put them on your computer and then you forget. 

Would you like to have a nice memory of your childhood, your grandparents and your parents, brothers or sisters? So let's get started! 

Do you want to see an example? Here we goooo! 

 

TASK: Make your own scrapbook using everything you have at home. You do not have to buy anything additional. You only need white or colored papers/cards, glue, scissors and colors/crayons/markers to make the decorations. And above all, the wish to explain it to your classmates. You could try to answer at least three of these questions:

1. What did you like to do when you were a baby? What did you avoid?
2. Did you ever travel? Where? How long? With whom did you go there? 
3. Have you ever had a special day? (a birthday, a family day on the beach, on the mountain, in a city, in a small town ...)
4. Did you have any pets?  What about your parents? Did they have any before you were born? 
5. What was your favorite food? What food you didn't like? 
6. Which were your favorite cartoons or board games?
7. When did you see your grandparents, aunts or uncles? What did you do with them?
8. Where did you live? Did you like it? 

These are only some of the questions you could write about. 

If you want to include some drawings that you did when you were young, something important for you, a postcard, the letter of the three kings, a sentence, a word ... Feel free to do it. Remember that it is your scrapbook and it will be a memory that you will have forever. Take the most of it! :)
