Description
Have your students create a collaborative poster and learn about John Milton in a new and engaging way! This creative project invites students to explore the life, works, and influence of one of England’s most significant poets through a hands-on, collaborative activity. Students will research John Milton’s biography, major works, and lasting impact on literature while building essential teamwork and communication skills.
Working together, students will research John Milton, record their findings in the designated sections of the poster, and color each piece to bring the project to life. Once the six pages are taped together, the completed display forms a cohesive and visually striking poster. The final product measures approximately 28" × 15", can be printed on regular copy paper or cardstock, and will last for years if laminated.
This resource includes step-by-step student directions, a project rubric, a graphic organizer, six blank coloring pages that combine into one complete poster, a John Milton answer key, and a fully completed example showing both text and color.
This collaborative author study is a great supplementary activity for your unit on Paradise Lost or any British literature curriculum focusing on classic poets and epic poetry.
