Some more end of the year ideas: 1. An Autograph Book from Yesteryear Explore a school autograph book from the 1880s, and invite students to create contemporary versions. Share with students an antique autograph book dating to the 1880s. As you leaf through the pages of the book, share information about its history, some of the entries, and the penmanship the signers used. The typed text of each page is provided beneath the image of the page. If you are unable to share the book online with students, you can print specific pages to share. If you print the pages, you might copy them onto overhead transparencies and share them with the entire class. As you share the autograph book's pages, solicit students' reactions to its contents. How is this book different from autograph books that students might have seen before? What stands out among the entries in the book? What does this autograph book say about the time in which it was created? After sharing a few entries and discussing the autograph book, introduce to students the idea of creating a 21st-century version. Allow them time to write in each others yearbooks or create their own if they did not purchase one. Challenge students to create an autograph book entry or rhyme in the style of the entries in the antique autograph book. Entries should be congratulatory, thoughtful, kind, and respectful and written in the students' best handwriting! Students with artistic talents might imitate some of the artwork seen on the pages of the 1880s book. http://madelinesmemories-ann.blogspot.com/2010/08/annies-1800s-school-autograph-book.html
