The idea of the Book Bento 🍱 is inspired by Japanese bento boxes. While they feature books rather than food, like the original and delicious artful arrangements, these interactive squares also emphasize symmetry and beauty. 

Requirements for your #MemoirBookBento:

  • Book PLUS 6-8 physical artifacts that are relevant to the memoir and with thorough explanations of how they relate to the author. 
  • Consider: Background, spacing, placement of objects
  • Concise summary of the book.
  • Starred book recommendation based on five(5) stars.
  • Explanation of why you selected the artifacts: make it clever and interesting!
  • Square photo of your #MemoirBookBento. Avoid glare by not using a flash. 
    • The control to take square photos can be found by swiping upward from the center of the screen while in the iPhone’s camera app. A bar will appear at the bottom of the preview and above the shutter button showing a variety of controls. The one that shows ‘4:3’ is the aspect ratio control.
  • Genial ly: Images, links, video, music if applicable. 
  • Keep in mind you will be sharing your #MemoirBookBento and embedding in your Student Portfolio Google Site.
