Mrs. Sherman's ELA Classroom

Students were given the challenge of creating motivational posters about issues that were important to them on Glogster.edu.  With the help of Mrs. McBride, students had to brainstorm a real world topic that people might need to be encouraged to learn more about,  or take an active role in.  They created a Glog, or an online, interactive poster  that would inspire others to become a better member of society. Students created the posters in school, and were given the opportunity to "unveil" their posters to their peers, who commented and gave them feedback on how they were motivated by each topic.  Topics ranged from Autism Awareness, recycling, supporting the troops, being more physically active, helping the victims of Haiti, and drunk driving awareness.  This project kept students engaged, motivated, and allowed for them to learn more about topics that they otherwise may not have researched on their own.  Please see some of the student work below.
