In the Classroom

Have students choose one gift idea from the site and create it in class. Set up materials in advance and allow students to follow directions independently or in small groups. Students can create a comic using Free Comic Strip Maker by Adobe, reviewed here, creating step-by-step instructions for their gift. Have students pair their handmade gift with a note or letter expressing appreciation for a family member, teacher, or community helper.
