Poster I whipped out (I love Pages) for an upcoming mural project – February 11-13 – the largest one yet that I’ve been a part of – that will engage all students and staff in an exploration of the question, “What is my place?”

The aim is to encourage students to think about where they live, and how that informs their sense of identity. They’ll use this reflection as the basis for their creativity: mixed media collages on wood panel.

I am looking for some outstanding classroom resources that help young people think about place – physical features of community, the people who surround us, our institutions and of course the landscape and climate.

*I’d love to know if anyone has some ideas about age-appropriate instructional resources on this topic.*

The end result will be a 500+ piece mural that I’ll have the opportunity to use some mosaic software on to try and create an image within the image – perhaps the school mascot…
