The pieces of construction paper that are on my toes with
names written on them are my family members. This relates to my life because it
is my family that include my dad, mom, brother, and two sisters. I have them on
my toes because I carry them with me wherever I go. The face of the dog that I
printed off my computer relates to my life because this is my dog, Boone. The
IPod is from a magazine and it relates to my life because I love listening to
music. The chocolate thing is from a candy wrapper and it relates to my life
because I love chocolate. The smiley face is from a magazine and it relates to
my life because I like to smile. The movie reel I made from construction paper
and it relates to my life because I love watching/going to movies.
Students will make a foot that introduces themselves to the
class. To create this project first the students will need to trace their foot
on a piece of construction paper. Next students will need to cut out their
foot. Then students will need to write their name on their foot. Students will
be creative and use three mediums on their foot. Mediums mean using different
types of materials such as construction paper, colored pencils, magazines,
crayons, markers, etc. Since they are
introducing themselves, students will draw things and glue things on their
foot. Then students will explain what the things on the foot mean.
An extension activity to use with this is having your
students get into groups of two. Then I would have students trace their group member’s
hand. Then the student will write their
partners name on the hand. Then they would draw things on the hand that
describes their partner. But the drawings have to be different from the partner’s
foot that they did before. Also, I could
integrate it in Language Arts because I can have students write a paragraph
about themselves. Then I would have students get into small groups and read
their paragraphs to each other.
