Assignment: Tear the edge of a page of your journal and decorate it.
Every year my students get more creative with this Friday "Creative Art Journaling" assignment. They are having fun and being creative; and their brains, their math, their writing, and their school work in general, benefit.
This student actually tore two pages and then colored a third page for a really neat effect. I showed these to all the students so that next Friday they will be even more motivated to "think outside the box."
