I wanted to do a project that focused on positive interactions between my 4th grade students. I started by distributing slips of paper to each student, having them write their name at the top in bold. I then instructed them that we were going to pass the slips around the room, and they were to write one word that described the person who's name was at the top of the paper. NO negative words were allowed. I allowed them about 20 seconds per slip of paper. The slips were returned to their owners, and we began drawing our self-portrait. In the background students chose one of the descriptive words about themselves to draw in bubble letters. We painted these in primary colors in the style of Roy Lichtenstein, and they turned out awesome!
