Love using this method because it's so accessible to most and has instant appeal, regardless of paper size. One thing I like to do with adults or students is have them -lightly- write: front, back cover and jot their page numbers after they've folded. Some will love diving in and creating in the book orientation, folded and run with it! Others like the layout for planning and want to work flat. Without the numbers they can spend a whole lot of effort but get frustrated when one panel is upside down or not in their intended position. Erase later once you're in the flow and they're good to go! (Don't let the tears flow- if you have upside down pages, remember art surgery is here for a reason, no biggie. Cut and paste to correct the page and adjust your copier until you erase those lines, or don't if they don't bother you ✌) Zine exchanging is really fun and kids have alot of ideas to share. One of my lessons was to teach each other something in steps using a one page zine- they were incredible ❤ (standard aligned, cross-curricular, generally dope- ticked all the boxes! And then they want to create more!) I miss teaching 😅

One day at work I was bored, made this zine base, then wrote the steps on the pages!
