Artist - Collage Poster Info Sheet with Rubric

A collage is a visual representation of ideas, emotions and understanding in response to a specific topic, concept, situation or issue. Although a collage may include some words, it is usually composed of a variety of visual materials such as photographs, magazine pictures, clip art, quotes, scraps of cloth and paper, beads, items pertaining to the poster’s subject, etc. Assignment: Create a collage poster for your Literature Circle novel. You may choose to focus on a character, theme, symbolism, scenes, a couple, etc., or your collage poster may cover the entire novel. Guidelines:  The poster cannot be smaller than 22” x 28” (which is standard poster size that you can purchase at any grocery store, Walmart, Target, etc.). Failure to meet this requirement is a 10 point deduction.

 I will take up to 5 points off for grammatical errors, so please proof your work.  Grading: The Lit Circle Individual Project will count as 90% of your final exam and your Lit Circle Peer Evaluation will count as the other 10%. During your final exam time, you and your group will do your group presentations, which will count as a separate test grade for 4th quarter.  Due Dates - The due dates for the project are 5/18/15 (A-Day) and 5/19/15 (B-Day). There will be a 10 point deduction per day late.  This project is a major grade; therefore, the project needs to reflect time and effort worthy of a major grade.  The rubric needs to be turned in with the project.
