Tech ToolsKrista Crossland
“Low Tech” – Book PostersStudents use Publisher to create book postersNo material is original – they locate
summaries, author information and reviews online, and transfer the information to posters (8.5 by 11)
All sources must be credited – otherwise students do not get credit for the poster
Students are able to review all posters and list top three picks for book projects
Book PostersThese posters are used for a variety of
projectsIn all cases – students must choose a novel to
read – final product is dependent on specific projects
Example – Living Museum – students read a Vietnam Era novel and create and interactive display/activity designed to communicate one of the key points of the book
