Digital-Collage



=Digital Collage?= There are many different ways to create a photo/digital collage. What I want to see is a collection of pictures or digital images put together in an artistic way. All of these images should be somehow related to the book of your choosing (approved by me). Here is a list of applications that you can use:
 * Adobe Photoshop
 * Microsoft word
 * or any photo editing software

=What do I need to do?= = =
 * Take notes while you read the book to get ideas on what pictures would work well.
 * Find pictures (make sure they are medium or large so the images are clear) and make sure you cite where you got them from.
 * Arrange, crop, and piecemeal the photos together (Adobe Photoshop works the best).
 * Create a works cited page for all of the images that you used.
 * Write a paragraph explaining why you chose those images and how they related to the book.
 * When you are finished upload the image link to this website under student work.

=Rubric:= = = =Due Date:= Your Digital Collage will be due 1 week after you have finished your book (you are given 3 weeks to finish the book, if not otherwise approved by me).

Reflection: We took many different parts from the book to make this collage. In the center we chose to put the quote from the book “I swear to be the skinniest girl in school…” because we felt as though this was how it all started. Around the quote we chose some of the foods that were talked about, some that she ate and some that she was thinking about eating (crossed out). We put the motel room door with the room number 113 because this represents where her friend died and where she almost died herself. The cell phone represents the number of times Cassie tried to call Lia, which haunts Lia throughout the book. We put the nose on the collage with the words burnt sugar, ginger and cloves, to represent what she kept smelling. The car with the numbers 93lb on its license plate represents when she mentioned how she crashed the car earlier. And the words the collage “Must. Not. Eat” were repeated in the book numerous times, so we felt that was very significant. Works Cited: All of the pictures were taken off of Google Images @ http://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&tab=wi = = = = =Student's finished work:=
