MAKE YOUR POSTER USING MICROSOFT WORD

8 ½ x 11 poster Color must be done using color pencils

or markers!! So leave outlines:

Remember, it should be readable standing a few feet away! Use large, clear fonts.

Create it in Black and White

Then Color it with Markers and Colored Pencils

Example (I would leave more outlines to color in

though)

THE OTHER 2 ARTICLES Write a paragraph for each of the 2

articles that you read but did not choose for your poster In your paragraphs you should still answer

the same questions What is it? Why is it special or interesting? (2 reasons) How is it made? Why would someone want to use it? What are

related advantages or disadvantages? These must be typed & attached to the

back of your poster
