These are projects that have to do with writing, making books, blogs, etc, etc.

 

MAKE A ZINE

It’s pronounced “zeen”… and it’s short for magazine. Zeen’s are basically a way to make your own homegrown magazine.  You can get as complex or as simple as you want… the content is totally up to you.  I have made many of my own zeens and it’s been a great process for me.  I taught high school for a year and I made my art class and my Bible class make zeens.  The high school one was “the day and the life of a freshman” where I had them journal everyday for a week… then make a zeen out of it.  For the Bible class, we were discussing worship and so we made a class zeen about worship.  I hope to have my own video up soon about what they look like, but until then I have put some resources below.

RESOURCES: Here’s some online links on how to make zeens

START A BLOG
Start a blog and get kids in your group to help write it and fill it up.  It’s a great way to get info out about what your group is up to and what is happening in the life of your community.
