-Zines
-Zines are a great easy crafty way to get your message across. We make them out of a single sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper and fold it as described below. Then fill in each of the 8 rectangles on one side with useful information about your ISSUE and use the back for a snazzy poster or graphic. It's easy, it's fun, it's informative and multipurpose use of paper. Kids can carry it in their pocket and hand them out to friends or strangers. There is a sample from Greer MCHS in South Carolina below.
