I was inspired by the toys I had when I was a child. Specifically, this farm animal toy where you would move an arrow, point it at a farm animal, and it would spin and play a farm animal noise. Also, a toy camera that I had that you would push a button, and the picture would change. You slowly pull the tabs apart to "Flip the page" and continue the story.

For my book, I used three coasters, clear Scotch tape, and three of my keys. My book is more of a sentimental record than a narrative that can be explained. I added tape after the project because I reread the guidelines and saw it should have turnable pages, but I kept the coaster casing to add a protective barrier. I added letters with nail polish to denote the location of the key (Villa Hills, Mount Vernon, and Covington) and placed the most significant one (my permanent home) in the middle rather than in chronological order. I find it is more of an artistic book than an educational one.

For my book, I used the cardboard boxes I have in my recyclables pile. They were already flattened out and I only needed to find a way to bind them together. I used a whole puncher and some thread for the binding. I punched three holes along one side of each piece, taking care to line them up so they would fit together. Then, I had my boyfriend choose three different colors of thread for the binding. He chose two shades of orange and one shade of blue. I cut several lengths of string and threaded them through the holes before tying them off. I used two ties for each hole to ensure security. I made sure to leave enough room in each tie so that the 'pages' would be able to turn. I left my boxes as 3D because I felt it was more meaningful that way. I didn't want my book to feel too much like a book. I wanted it to be clear that my book was made of recyclables that are still going to be recycled. I like my book and I think it is a beautiful piece of art. To me, it tells a story beyond the fact that I definitely have a sweet tooth. I hope you enjoyed.

For this book, I constructed it using leaves, a pipe cleaner, and an old candy box. When we did this project in class, I used a water bottle and the pages that I had did not turn (I made advancements before posting here). For the pages, I went outside to the tree beside my window and took five leaves. After getting the leaves, I put glue on them to spell out spice names or use the initial of a seasoning or spice that was located in the spice cabinet (the name of the book is spice book referring to the location (the spice cabinet) that I pulled the item out of). I have S for salt and P for pepper, the rest were completely written out with glue and then dosed in the spice/seasoning/herb that was listed on the leaf. For example, the leaf with the word Chili on it, has Chili powder, the one that looks like a heavy metal band logo was supposed to say thyme but the herb was not fine enough to stick to the glue without forming what appears to be a cluster, and so on. This all took place during the class period.

To make an advancement, I added a pipe cleaner that was inserted through all the leaves to allow for movement. After that I attached it to the old candy box I had. With the ink I crafted for the other padlet, I wrote out Spice Book (even though technically only chili powder, pepper, and cumin are spices with salt being a seasoning and thyme being a herb).

This is my book made out of cereal boxes that were conveniently waiting to go to the trashcan when I began my class and thought I would use them for this assignment! The way I made the book was very simple. I cute the front and back of each of the three cereal boxes and them held them together with a paperclip in the top corner that I flattened out and coiled through the whole in each box (that I created using a pair of scissors!)

In chapter 5 of Proust and the squid by Maryanne Wolf it talks a lot about how we make inferences when we read and how the ability to read and make this inference is when we become fluent. For this project I took the idea of inferences to try creating a story with my book if an individual found it in the future. Their inferences may not be correct, but I tried to keep a general theme of games/hobbies that I have enjoyed during my life. For the first page I wanted to try to guide the reader to make a inference about the rest of the book being a story from my past by adding a high school tassel which would also place the setting of the book. I then added a DS and headphones to show how technology was apart of my earlier life. As you open more compartments you see things that happened later in my life where there are items from sports and games. This format using the laptop box worked as a book because it has multiple compartments that lead to one another which is like turning the pages of a book. Each compartment has a different item in it and was supposed to lead to the individual creating more and more inferences trying to connect the pieces. These pieces would allow them to create their own story.
