Description
Have your students create a collaborative poster and learn about William Shakespeare in a fun and engaging way!
Your students will create an author biography by researching Shakespeare and establishing his profile on a poster.
Students will learn about Shakespeare and his body of work as an influential author.
Additionally, they will learn the importance of collaboration and effective communication. This project is perfect for National Poetry Month.
Project Steps:
1) To construct the author study poster, your students will work in groups to conduct research on Shakespeare.
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 28″ x 15″ and can last a lifetime if you laminate it!
