Lesson three: Make an accordion book and create the story with images using materials
generated in lesson one. Keep the first and last page blank. (Students can also use other
collage images from their image bank. An image bank is a collection of images kept in a
shoebox and gathered throughout the year by each student.)
Lesson four: Typography. Show different uses of typography in books to show how type
can be used as a graphic for the purpose of design and personal expression.
Lesson Five: Create a cover for the book by gluing the first and last page of the accordion
on a piece of cardboard that is a bit large then the size of each page of the accordion.

illustrated by each student.
