Description
Have your students create a collaborative poster and learn about Harper Lee in a fun and engaging way!
Your students will create an author biography by researching Harper Lee and establishing her profile on a poster.
Students will learn about Lee’s body of work and her life as an influential author. Her most celebrated work is the classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird. They will also learn the importance of teamwork and effective communication. This activity is perfect for Women’s History Month or any ELA classroom author study.
To construct the author study poster, students will work in groups to research Harper Lee, transfer their findings to the poster boxes, color or paint the pieces, and assemble the final product.
The poster is made up of six pieces of paper, which can be printed on regular copy paper or card stock. Once taped together, the completed poster measures 28" x 15" and can last a lifetime if laminated.
