What defines an event or experience in a young person’s life as a milestone or rite of passage?

For this assignment, you will be creating a collage on an 8 x 11 Cardstock Board (given to you in your ELA class) One important skill in reading is the ability to look back on a piece and decide what overall theme or message can be found in it. This even applies to pictures on a page. You will use old magazines and choose pictures that reflect your path to growing up. You should catalog your journey from birth to adulthood. What milestones have you achieved already? What milestone would you like to accomplish?

Collage Checklist: • Size of collage • Include your name in the top left corner • Neatness counts! Make sure your collage is visually attractive and clearly communicates your message • All items must be firmly affixed to the poster board using glue (no tape or staples) • Be prepared to explain why you chose the quotes, images, and words on your collage and how each relates to your milestones in life.
