Project Guidelines

Use the following guidelines for completing your poster and summary:

  • Take notes on just keywords and details that go with your topic while searching your web sites for information on your topic.
  • Use pictures that you run off from your web site or ones you illustrate yourself to include on your poster. You should use poster board or a heavy piece of paper to use for your poster. It should big enough to hold all your visuals and your written factual information on your topic in a creative way, not to be overcrowded and neatly done.
  • Make sure your summary includes the topic sentence and then develop the rest of the paragraph with details that have an order of importance and pertain to the main idea or topic sentence of the paragraph.

Conclusion

You can make a video tape of your posters as a class news report and even include a weather report for Treegap. Share with another class.
