Greeting Cards Galore!

I loved the lesson over creating greeting cards! Especially the notion of tying in classic fairy tales. I've tried to tie in fairy tales a few different ways, but this was a really cool idea and made some of the classic fairy tales relevant in the lives of students (something that isn't always so easy to accomplish!) I'm a pretty big fan of Tim Burton-esque artwork (lots of swirling, eccentric characters/scenes). I envisioned cards with images in this style featuring elements from the classic fairy tales! Very cool!

  1. I love making and sending cards with my students. This was a great idea. Even my kids could take on a character and write from a different perspective.

  2. I think 3-D cards (especially with our sexy pig) would be fabulous!! :)

  3. You will be astounded by the variety of greeting cards designs that students create! It's so great! They love to see their work posted in the classroom or the hall. P.S. - ditto on the 3-D version of the hot pig! That would be an interesting twist. Lori :)
