Making a Scroll

Bullet point It's easy to make a scroll.

  1. Make a copy of the text that you plan on using in class. You might try a textbook chapter, perhaps something from a newspaper or magazine.
  2. Tape or glue the pages together to make a horizontal (left-to-right) scroll.

  3. Tape your scroll to the blackboard - or to a wall. Or lay it out on the floor or long table.
