Smash Book A ssignment

Everyone will create a Smash Book version of Berto y sus buenas ideas by creating a Smash Doodle.
What are Smash Books and Smash Doodles? Smash Books are very trendy version of scrapbooking
that is popular right now with young 20-somethings. Smash Books include pictures or other images,
written text, and are typically rather colorful. As we will not actually be scrapbooking, we will be
doodling (hence the name, Smash Doodle) instead.

Here are some example Smash Doodles:

Each Small Doodle should include the following:

- The title of the chapter and a correlating image.
- At least ten new vocabulary terms - each with correlating images.
- At least five of the most important sentences from the chapter copied down and correlating
images, though you can write down your own summary.
- At least three reflections about the book at the bottom of the page.

Useful phrases for reflections include:

- Me sorprendió que… (It surprised me that…)
- Me molestó que… (It bothered me that…)
- Aprendí que… (I learned that…)
- Ya sabía que… (I already knew that…)

Late Smash Doodles will be reduced one letter grade each day they are late. For students absent on
the day we read a chapter, the teacher will grant the student the duration of the absence to turn in the
Smash Doodle for full credit. For students who are absent the day the Smash Doodle is due but were
in class the day the chapter was read, they are expected to turn it in the day they return.

The Smash Doodles will be collected in manila folders in the classroom and stored in the class.
