Create a Triararama

A triarama is a scene from your book created in a 3-D room.  Here's how to make a triarama:

1. Cut a piece of construction paper into a 9" square.

2. Fold the square along the diagonal twice so that it forms an X fold pattern on the paper.

3. Cut from one corner to the middle on a fold line.

4. Draw the background of a scene from you book on the upright part of your  triarama.

5. Overlap the bottom triangles and glue or staple. 

6. Then decorate the 'floor' of the triarama like you would make a diorama scene from your book.  You can make a cut-out of the main character of your book to place in the 'room' or other objects that tell the story of your book.

7.  If you want you can create more rooms and add them on by gluing.

8. Write a summary of your book telling about the characters, setting and plot.
