Inspiration and creativity can come from anywhere! During the reading STAAR test I was so bored that I began to read posters outside of the classroom where I was assigned. The poster was about Harriett Tubman and was left up from Black History Month. It wasn't what the poster said that caught my eye, but more the structure of it. The poster was designed almost like a scrapbook page. (By the way, I LOVE to scrapbook!)
I quickly went and looked up our state standards to see how we could recreate this poster. I decided to use the social studies standard where the students had to identify the importance of historical figures and important individuals who participated in the democratic process. Bingo! Today the kiddos are researching their chosen historical figures and tomorrow we put it all together!
