Flag Bookmaking at the Silverlake Independent JCC

February 20, 2023 By Debra Disman

It was a pleasure to teach a hands-on FLAG BOOKmaking workshop for fifth-graders at the Silverlake Independent JCC, my fifth year doing so! (Or is it my 6th?!)
The fifth-graders were receptive, energetic and creative!

The Art of Ethics: Bookmaking at the Silverlake Independent JCC

October 22, 2021 By Debra Disman

 

I had the opportunity to teach the  FLAG BOOK structure to fifth-graders at the  Silverlake Independent Jewish Community Center  in their
The Art of Ethics class focusing on Shalom Bayit – Peace in the Home.

This was my first IN PERSON teaching artist experience in over a year and a half!

It was wonderful….

Here are some of the results, as well as the process…


Developing content


“The Future” is a theme


No Rules (!)


Designing the book


Looking to the future, celebrating the now


Highly engaged


A positive approach


Innovation


Cover Design


Completing the structure


The wonderful teacher, Marnina.
