Scrapbook Page Exercise

This tool allows students to create a scrapbook and a personal memoir narrative using any of the 60 historical photos depicting common recreational activities throughout Milwaukee’s history. In order to begin this scrapbook learning activity, have students look over the photographs and decide which one is most suitable. Then, have students write a rough draft of the personal memoir narrative according to the instructions you provide. (If students use word processing to create their draft, then they can copy and paste the draft into the scrapbook template.)

After writing a draft of the memoir narrative, students may begin to work to fill in the required fields. All fields must be completed before students are allowed to submit the memoir for a “preview”. Provide the following directions:

• First, students fill in the three empty fields above the photographs.
• Second, students select one of the 60 photographs by first choosing a category from the pull down menu and then clicking on the circle next to the photo.
• Third, students compose their memoir or type in the final draft if they have a prewritten draft.
