In a previous post, I showed many examples of zines that I had purchased from a zinefest. I tried it out with a group of 4th/5th graders and I am happy to say it was a success! It was the first time I had made zines with students before and one student told me that this was a project I should keep for next year! Other kids agreed.
We started by watching this video about zines from Tate.
I showed them some examples of zines and I had a short powerpoint about making zines. We used templates to design our zines.
You can see in this example that all of the pages are made on one sheet of paper, cut in the middle and then folded.
Have you ever made zines with your classes? Do you have any good resources to share on this topic?

Thanks. I’ll try this
Can’t wait to try this. How many (say 50 min) classes would this take to do? Did you provide all the idfferent photos for collage, or ask the kids to bring in materials? Thanks so much for sharing this.
Hi! It was super fun! We spent about four 40 minute classes on it. Some took less time others took longer. I had a bunch of magazines for the kids to use. Have fun!
