Description
Have your students create a collaborative poster and learn about William Wordsworth in a new and engaging way! Through this activity, students will research and design an author biography poster, exploring Wordsworth’s life, major works, and lasting influence as one of literature’s great poets. Along the way, they’ll also develop valuable skills in teamwork and communication as they work together to complete the project.
Students will begin by researching William Wordsworth and gathering information about his background, achievements, and literary contributions. They’ll then record their findings in designated sections on the poster before collaborating to color, 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 durability, you can laminate the finished product so it can be displayed for years to come.
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 and an example of the final project.
