. For another creative journaling art Friday, I got an idea from our vocabulary books. One of the vocabulary words was perforate. What better way to really learn the word than to actually perforate something -- like, a journal page? So we did. I told them to gently, carefully, and artistically poke holes in a page of their journals. (I forgot to give them this direction once, and a few students just made a big mess.) Then, I passed around the hole punch as well. I also challenged them to be creative and to make designs. I told them to use color. Then I had the idea that since we were poking holes in the paper, that we could also thread something through them. So, I got out my basket of yarn that I had picked up at a thrift store. The students took it from there.
This would be an example of guy perforation.
