Washington Irving Author Study — Literary Legends Collaborative Poster
PURCHASE ON TPT

Description

Have your students create a collaborative poster and learn about Washington Irving in a new and engaging way!

Your students will create an author biography by researching Washington Irving and establishing his profile on a poster.

Students will learn about Irving’s life and his body of work as a legendary author.

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

This is great for any unit on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow or Rip Van Winkle!

Project Steps:

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

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!
