EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS
CREATE A BOX

                     You need a shoebox, glue, scissors, various
                    magazines. Decorate the outside of the box
                    with how you see yourself or how others see
                    you. Decorate the inside of the box with the
                     feelings you hide and how you feel inside.
