INCLUDED
There are 2 poster options plus bonus activities included in this resource. Please use what works for you and your students. Please see the preview file for all that is included.
Poster Option #1: Collaboration Poster: COLORING
This lesson is easy and ideal for elementary school children. Each student is given one section of a large mosaic poster to color according to the instructions on each sheet. Once all sheets are colored and cut out, they are assembled to reveal a large, multi-colored collaboration mosaic/poster/mural of Joy Harjo.
Poster Details:
- There are 30 pieces.
- Each piece fits on a regular 8.5" x 11" piece of paper.
- The final poster is approx. 37" x 45" (depending on your printer settings).
- You will need markers, crayons, or colored pencils in yellow and red.
Poster Option #2: Collaboration Poster: DRAWING
This lesson is not hard but is more challenging than the coloring version. This lesson is best suited for middle school, high school, or art students.
Each student will draw their grid piece using a small version of their assigned grid cell as a reference. Once the pieces are drawn and cut out, the classroom poster can be assembled. This lesson engenders cooperation among students to get all of the drawings within the individual grid cells to line up nicely and produce a nice-looking final poster of Joy Harjo.
