Instructional Ideas

  • As an extension to the independent research project, have learners use the guiding questions provided as starting points to writing a more detailed explanatory text in which they engage in inquiry-based research

Classroom Considerations

  • For closer analysis of the poster, consider projecting the image for the class and zooming in wherever it is appropriate rather that printing the poster entirely

Pros

  • Well designed set of materials
  • Detailed informational texts with follow-up comprehension questions
  • Includes map and graph analysis

Cons

  • None
