Series 3 | Lesson 9
Creators | Aśka & Campbell Whyte
Zine are little handmade books that are as limitless as your imagination! In this lesson, we’ll hear from Aśka and Campbell, who will tell us all about ZINES, and show us how we can make our own unique zines too.
This lesson introduces students to zines – hand-made booklets (or mini magazines) that they can create themselves to showcase their stories and illustrations. Students will discover the limitless possibilities of storytelling that zines offer, and will learn how to use a simple template to create a zine of their own, as a way to publish and share their creative work.
Resources include lesson plans for middle and upper primary students, each with their own activities and supporting resources.
