Thing #6


I really enjoyed exploring the enormous amount of resources on Big Huge Labs. The creative options with pictures on this website is great. Trading cards can be great for many things. In science when we learn about matter, students could each make a trading card for solids, liquids, and gases. Students could also design a magazine cover for a unit of study. A picture could represent the overall study and the side notes might include vocabulary from the unit. There are so many creative ideas that can be used in many different avenues. Calendars with pictures could be very benefical for students who need additional help with organization and are visual learners. If we are studying Botany in science, a picture could represent that study and then the calendar would be available with details of what the class will study each day.




This resource looks to have many possibilities. I am worried about one thing. I wonder how much printing ink it uses to print a set of trading cards or a magazine cover. We don't have to print everything but some unique creations are nice to have hard copies of. Just a thought.
