I laminated these and hung them up using hot glue. Unfortunately, I have a student who frequently gets mad whenever he is called out on bad behavior who would stalk outside and knock them down (it's urban teaching folks, sort of a background detail here) so I taped down the side for a much better effect if not quite as good looking.
Now I can simply tape or hot glue the student work to the sheets and they look good. I have a display on either side of my door and have two assignments to show off at any point of time. I also took a page that had four superheroes' faces on it and made dialogue balloons (using the great Comic Life program) that explain what the students did and what Common Core Standard it teaches. They've been a big hit.
The original book of scrapbook papers, $20 for 120 pages, found at Micheals. Apparently not available in this form online.
What the pages look like
What the pages look like by themselves, laminated, hot glued to the wall and reinforced with clear tape. Next year I'm using a better quality tape on the edges.
Student work taped to the laminated pages. Hot glue works too.
I tend to use projects that take up less than a sheet of paper to show off the logo coolness on the corner.
The speech balloons that say what the project is about. Thor says "Verily, thou canst distinguish facts from opinions, so says the mighty Thor!" while Iron Man starts "This is Ironman, prepare to received Common Core Sequence. ." followed by the exact code and then Hulk says "Hulk smash (fact) puny humans (opinion)"
