Teachers love famous author collaborative posters as a way to encourage students' creative expression while showing what they have learned through research. More and more, teachers are turning to alternative assessments such as these that allow for students to demonstrate authentic learning. (This is especially important to bypass the AI writing that is available today.)
This collaborative poster is of famous American author, F. Scott Fitzgerald. I assign it after my students finish reading The Great Gatsby. My students love the chance to work together, show off their creativity, and compete for the best one!
The process is simple:
- Print the three pages of the poster on a standard printer for 8.5 x 11" paper.
- Students color the images and fill in the supplemental graphics.
- Tape the three sheets together in order.
- Now, your poster is ready for display!
This product is a digital download only; no physical items will be shipped to you. You will receive a zip folder containing three .jpeg files. Each file is one page of the three-page poster. The pages are clearly labeled.
The poster contains fine-line images to color. (I recommend using colored pencils for best results.) Zelda and Scottie are included, too! The poster also contains a title box for a quotation or student names, the author's name, boxes for famous quotations, a timeline, a notecard, a passport, a The Great Gatsby book cover to color, and books to label. Your students get to showcase their creativity and their knowledge of Fitzgerald!
Once your students finish their posters, I'd love to see their work! Please tag your photos #moncreativeclassrooms and #hellofriday so that I can showcase their work in my feeds. As a thank you, I'll send you a coupon to use toward your next purchase!
