The image on the foldable must reflect the 6-word memoir. Students will decorate and color the surprise foldable.

A surprise foldable is a sheet of paper that is folded into 4 sections. Only the top and bottom sections are visible while the 2 center sections are hidden away. The top and bottom sections, when they are put together form an image. When the paper is pulled open, it reveals a surprise image in the center section.
