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.
