Description:
It's still my favorite month of the year--National Poetry Month! I've also recently become addicted to mini zines--zines made from a sheet of paper. So, a combination of both! Make a zine from a sheet of paper--I love using magazine pages! Use each page for a line of poetry or two, depending on space. You can include favorite lines from poems by other poets or lines from a short poem you wrote! It'd be great to decorate a little to go with the theme of the poem if you use plain paper. Since it's Earth Day on April 22nd, why not use recycled paper--newspaper, ads, magazine pages! Say, no lower than 4.9, pretty standard. 1 mini zine to 1 partner. Quick turn-around unless people have objections. I can post a link to mini zine making instructions if anyone needs it!

You can do a search on YouTube for a video tutorial. And here's one on a blog. You can also just do a google search on mini-zine for other instructions.
