Jan 5 - Intro Cover Page

A cover page is the first page of a document, report, or presentation that provides key introductory information about the content inside. It typically includes the title of the document, the author's name, the date of submission or publication, and any relevant project or company details. The cover page serves as a formal introduction and gives the reader a clear understanding of what to expect. In professional, academic, or creative contexts, it can also include logos, design elements, or visuals to create an attractive and organized presentation.
Open your project book we reflected on yesterday. Draw something on the first page. I choose to draw a rose with felt tip markers. I wrote my name at the top and made the rose as large as the page. I made it big, bold and colorful. You can choose a flower that represents you or something else that makes a statement about yourself.

If you unsure of what to draw: Turn the book sideways and write you first name in pencil. Proceed to outline the letters. When you turn it reading side up you will notice you have a totem of your name. Color in the letters as you see fit, then outline with black marker.

Remember your going to carry this project book around with you for years: So make it you. Be bright. Be cheerful.
