In my grade 4 class, we are at the point of compiling the final task in the unit "Souvenirs de ma famille." Students will create a family album which will include key elements such as a cover page, dedication, a diagramme of their extended family and a poem entitled, "J'aime ma famille." Most of the students have completed their poem with an illustration and are now working on the cover page.
The teacher manual includes a one-page dedication but I wanted to cut back on photocopying and reduce paper consumption. The copywright date also begins with 19 which is a tad outdated. So I decided to make my own in a smaller size in order to fit two on a single letter-size page.
