Educate NC

After reading "The Green Book" by Jill Paton Walsh, students are assigned the task of creating a poster to attract visitors to Planet Shine. Rubric included.

Use this as a culminating project or a beginning project for an Ecosystem unit. We did this in partners, but some students chose to do it independently. Students created PowerPoint presentations or Google Slide shows, but can easily be adapted to create a poster or written report.

Your students will LOVE researching a country and selecting topics from the choice board. Have students select a row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally to determine what to research. Students will be more engaged because they get to select what to research! Can be modified to require students to research more/less. Students can work in partners or groups, and may need more support the younger the grade level.

This resource includes a rubric for students to use when researching a president. Can be modified to include more or less, depending on your students and the grade level you work with. My students worked in pairs, and they chose to create posters or brochures. They loved this project!
