Capstone

The students create a “Book of Me” (a scrapbook) about themselves that
mirrors the “snapshots” of the children in Oxfam’s “My World, Your World.”
They include photos of themselves, their families, their homes, the foods
they eat, their clothes, and other items that they determine are needs and
wants. The book will also double as a portfolio of the work that the students
will create over the course of the year, such as poems, drawings, and other

materials.

(Note that for all Oxfam activities in this year, the United Kingdom should
be replaced with the country where the course is been taught.)
