For the third peer lesson, Ms. Anderson and Ms. Deslauriers taught us about paper collages. They started out by reviewing the story, “Rainbow Fish.” They gave us an outline of 2 fish and had us free hand draw the fish we wanted to use for our collage. We were not allowed to trace the fish. We cut the fish out and then began ripping different colored construction paper to glue onto the fish. We glued the construction paper onto the fish, overlapping the previous piece of construction paper to create the collage. We reviewed primary and secondary colors and were to identify which of the colors we used in our fish. After that, we were allowed to decorate the fish with sequins, tin foil, and glitter. I decided to create a rainbow fish. I used all the colors of the rainbow and then used a sequin for the eye, tin foil on the tail, and then glitter throughout the body.
For an extension activity, I would have my students create an ocean theme and place their fish in the ocean on a bulletin board. They could then create a story of how their fish helped other fish in the ocean, just like Rainbow Fish did. They could work together on their stories and create one big class story of how their fish would be a helpful fish in the ocean. We would then place the story up with the fish for everyone to see.
