Pilgrim Tri-FoldCollage Poster Info Sheet with Rubric for The Canterbury Tales

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 tri-fold collage poster for your pilgrim from The Canterbury Tales.
Guidelines:
  • Remember, your audience is not familiar with your pilgrim.
  • The poster needs to be set up to help you with your presentation.
  • All visuals need to be school appropriate.
  • Make sure that students can easily see items, headings, etc. on your poster.
  • The poster size minimum is 36" x 48" open and 36" x 24" closed (which is standard tri-fold poster size that you can purchase at Office Depot, Office Max, Staples, Walmart, Target, etc. for around $8). 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. Nothing is worse than having a beautiful poster with typos.
  • This project is a major test grade; therefore, the project needs to reflect time and effort worthy of a test grade.
  • The due date for the project is 11/18/14. There will be a 10 point deduction per day late.
  • The rubric needs to be turned in with the project.
