Make a paper strip book called "Hopes for the future"

Follow the instructions in activity one and make a paper strip book. Make it about hopes for the future or wishes that you have. Such as "I hope that I pass my exams" or "I wish to be happy". Each strip will be a hope and you could keep adding to it as the year goes on. Or it could be a continuous diary of events that have happened in your lifetime or to your family.

Can you think of an unusual way of using this type of book? A book which does not have a clear beginning, middle or end?

Make a paper strip book for a poem

Write a poem which is about anything you wish: school, the seasons, war, peace etc. Make sure that it does not have a clear beginning or end. It may help to write your ideas in a brainstorm or spider diagram so that there is no obvious first line.

Write each line on one of your strips. Everyone in your class or school could write a line to make a really big poem.
