Because I have been obsessed with magazines since I was a child I have many, many subscriptions. These magazines pile up around our house and instead of throwing them away I recycle them in the classroom. The magazines can be cut up and glued to paper or poster board to create vocabulary collages, family trees, fashion collages, food collages, and other history or culture projects. Collages bring out the creativity in everyone. Collages can be paired with essays or turned in as homework, group classwork or assessments.
