Poster Project Rationale
Students will complete a poster project to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the texts that they have encountered during the unit. This poster project will serve as a base for their Socratic discussion that will take place on the following day. Students will be asked to include any information that they find valuable from the notes packet, word wall, anticipation guides, texts, and discussions. Students will be assessed through teacher observation of their collaborative work.
