Constructing the Basic Collage Book Report

Write or type your paragraphs on colored paper and cut them into interesting shapes.  Glue the shapes onto a poster board in a creative way.  Draw the illustrations on the poster board in between the paragraphs.  Fill the space.  Color all the illustrations so your collage is entirely filled and very colorful!

Suggestion:  Keep your collage small enough to fit in your smash book when you are finished!  An even better idea is to plan a larger collage that can be cut into pieces in order to fit in your smash book.
