I remember that I used to have my students write their resolutions on their silhouettes.
Here is how we did it. I would have the student sit on a stool with their shoulder touching the board. I would tape a piece of black construction paper to the board behind their shoulder. Then I would use my overhead projector to reflect their silhouette onto the piece of paper. I would quickly take a pencil and trace around the shadow they were casting unto the paper. Next, the student would carefully cut out his "head" and write his resolutions on it using white crayons or chalk.
Here is one I made using a silhouette clipart and the Paint program on my computer to give you a visual representation.
They look great on display on the windows, bulletin board, or lining your hallway.
Do you have a New Year's Resolution project you do with your students? Please share your ideas with a comment.
