Entry Events
Events that will be used to introduce the project to studentsThe Future of Pop-Up
Present students with a 'silent film' showcasing the evolution of pop-up books throughout history. The film ends with a cliffhanger, challenging students to predict the future of pop-up books and design their own innovative concepts that push the boundaries of the art form.The Unfinished Prototype
A mysterious package arrives containing an unfinished pop-up book prototype with missing elements. Students must reverse-engineer the existing pages and brainstorm solutions to complete the book, sparking their curiosity about the mechanics and storytelling possibilities of pop-up books. The teacher can also include different types of books like fables, myths, or historical narratives to show the range of stories possible in a pop-up format.📚
Portfolio Activities
Portfolio Activities
These activities progressively build towards your learning goals, with each submission contributing to the student's final portfolio.Activity 1
Bookbinding Bonanza: Assembly Time
Students assemble their pop-up book, integrating the illustrations, text, and pop-up elements. They use bookbinding techniques to create a durable and functional final product.Steps
Here is some basic scaffolding to help students complete the activity.1. Cut and fold the pages according to the planned layouts.
2. Attach the pop-up mechanisms to the appropriate pages.
3. Bind the pages together using bookbinding techniques (e.g., saddle stitch, perfect binding).
4. Add any final embellishments or decorative elements.
