Margaret Mitchell Author Study | Body Biography | Collaborative Poster

Description

Have your students create a collaborative poster and learn about Margaret Mitchell in a new and engaging way!

Your students will create an author biography by researching Margaret Mitchell and establishing her profile on a poster.

Students will learn about Margaret Mitchell’s life and her body of work as a legendary author.

Additionally, they will discover the importance of collaboration and effective communication.

This is a great activity to add to your novel study for Gone with the Wind.


1) To construct the author study poster, your students will work in groups to conduct research on Margaret Mitchell.

2) Students will then transfer their findings to boxes on the poster.

3) Next, they will work together to color or paint the pieces of the poster.

4) Lastly, students will tape together the final product.

The poster is made up of six pieces of paper, which can be printed on regular copy paper or card stock.

Once taped together, the final product will be roughly 28″ x 15″ and can last a lifetime if you laminate it!
