How to Create an Experience BookPlan ahead!
What is the experience?
What activities/steps do you want to highlight in the book? (What do you think would be the most memorable and meaningful? Take note of things to remember to collect.)
Bring a bag to collect objects to represent the the activities from the experience (ie: feeding the goats at the farm--pieces of goat feed or hay)
If child is not present to make the book, it can be made when he/she is not there.
Conversations BoxesWhat is a conversation box?
A box of items (in this case, items about a shared experience), that a learner can use to have a conversation with someone about the items.
