Initially, I was going to wait until this project was finished before I blogged about it, but since we received such a positive response from the teens I wanted to share this venture with everyone.

THE IDEA: Fashioned after the PostSecret project and the I’m Afraid: This is a Book About Fear zine, our untitled project focuses on the question “What Are You Afriad Of?” or “Somthing Horrifying”. Teens respond to these prompts by creating art upon blank standard index cards. Materials needed include: colored markers/pencils, googly eyes, glitter sticks, ect. This project will run the length of summer reading, will be compiled, and finally, displayed in a large binder using photo corners.

THE RESPONSE: One of my teen volunteers taped newspaper and put other materials onto a table in the teen area, created a sign about the project, and made a box for completed entries. Within 2 hours, a dozen cards were completed. Woohoo!
