Have your students create a collaborative poster and learn about Frederick Douglass in a fun, fresh, and engaging, way!
Your students will create an author biography by researching Frederick Douglass and establishing his profile on a poster.
Students will learn about Douglass and his body of work as an influential author, activist, abolitionist, orator, and diplomat.
Additionally, they will learn the importance of collaboration and effective communication. This Black History Month activity is perfect for ELA.
1. To construct the author study poster, your students will work in groups to conduct research on Frederick Douglass.
2. Students will then transfer their findings to boxes on the poster.
3. Next, they will work together to color or paint the pieces of the poster.
4. Lastly, students will tape together the final product.
The poster is made up of six pieces of paper, which can be printed on regular copy paper or card stock.
