World Famous

This week one of the literacy contract activities was for the Tui kids to pick a world famous landmark and create an information poster. 

There was the Eiffel Tower, Empire State Building, Leaning tower of Pisa, Statue of Liberty, Colosseum, Pyramids of Giza, Sydney Opera House and the Taj Mahal.  The children were challenged to pick a landmark that they didn't already know a lot about.

We needed to research our landmark, asking questions about it that start with Who? What? Why? Where? When? Which? and How?.
Together we created some success criteria for our posters. 
Tui decided that the posters needed:

• facts (not opinions) 
• history of the landmark 
• Picture/images
• Visually appealing to catch the readers interest

Everyone decided that they would like to create a digital poster, so we set up a shared slide doc.  Everyone took a slide for their poster.  Check out the individual blogs for more later in the week!
