One of my favorite units for regular-level English 10 classes is the biography reading because students get to read a book about someone they’re interested in — and I get to discover all kinds of new stuff about all kinds of people!
They finished up the fourth and last portion of their reading a couple of weeks ago, and their final projects were due last week: posters!!
Their posters had to include the title of the book, the author’s name, the subject’s name, five quotations from the book with page numbers, at least one picture of the subject, and a timeline of the subject’s life with at least ten events.
Twenty percent of the grade involved presentation of the poster to the class. Afterward, I took pictures, which they could choose to be in or not.
As usual, some were more creative than others (and I will be adding a separate graded quality for “creativity” in the future), but most were pretty good!
Here are pictures of the posters, in no particular order:
