Classroom Posters Idea
Dear Christy,
For some reason I never gor your personal email… how strange. In any case I
did respond to another listero off-line about the very same topic, so here is
what I wrote:
This is an easy homework assignment. I have about 8 to 10 places that are
illustrated by drawings or photos. They are large enough to be seen from anywhere
in the room. So here is how I do it for a class of 30 (my average class
size.) I assign 3 students one place… let’s say “la iglesia”, then another 3
students get ‘la playa”, then another 3 students “la carcel”, and so on. When they
bring their posters to class the next time, we choose the one we want to hang
in the classroom. Everyone gets the same credit for doing the work, but the
best expression of the place gets to be hung in the classroom. Sometimes we
hang two together (for one place) because they are both really good. This makes
minimum work for you and the class gets to participate in creating the
atmosphere of your classroom. (If you have multiple classes do the assignment, then
you can have a vote on the best poster of all 5 classes.)
I hope this helps.
Joe
