California Collage with PDF Template

My experience with collage is that students enjoy them, but often have trouble filling a paper in one class session. I thought that if they all work on one large project, they might stay on task a little better.
I’ve made a large multi-page California template that measures about 30" tall. The file may be downloaded HERE.
1. To make my collage, I first printed out and trimmed all the pages...

Have you had kids try this? Do they push and argue about who gets to put what where? I can picture my kids being upset when somebody overlaps their piece with another. Lately they seem to be pretty mean to each other. But maybe I'm interpreting wrong - so how did you organize this with a group of kids, and how many kids work on the collage at once?

I have done a lot of collage work before, but admit this one will be the first group project when I do it next week. I plan to have the white paper map cut out and taped to the front board, with myself as the "glue master" so things don't get bottlenecked. A class of 24 will do this all at once, I'll let you know how it turns out.

I did a class collage of our school mascot by first drawing the image on poster board and then cutting the sections apart by color. Each table of 4 students was given magazines to find their given color. While 2 students cut, the other 2 glued. When all the pieces were covered, I taped the pieces together from the back. The final product looked great and the the students practiced group work in a no-fail situation. Check it out at https://sites.google.com/a/oconeeschools.org/miss-laura-s-art-class/
