Description
Have your students create a collaborative poster and learn about Emily Brontë in a new and engaging way! Through this activity, students will research and design an author biography poster, exploring Brontë’s life, literary achievements, and her lasting influence as one of the most powerful voices in nineteenth-century literature. Along the way, they’ll also strengthen their teamwork and communication skills as they collaborate to complete the project.
This is a wonderful addition to any novel study of Wuthering Heights, helping students make meaningful connections between Brontë’s life experiences and the themes reflected in her writing.
Students will begin by researching Emily Brontë and gathering information about her background, accomplishments, and contributions to literature. They’ll then record their findings in the designated sections on the poster before working together to color or paint and assemble the final display. Once completed, the six-piece poster can be printed on regular paper or cardstock and will measure approximately 28" x 15" when taped together. For long-lasting classroom use, you can laminate the finished product.
This resource includes student directions, a rubric, and a graphic organizer (all provided in both PDF and editable Word document formats). It also includes six blank coloring pages that come together to form one cohesive poster, an Emily Brontë answer key, and an example of the final project.
