Resource Details
Poster #1: William Shakespeare Collaboration Poster: Coloring
** GREAT FOR ANY AGE **
This lesson is very easy. Each student is given one section of a large mosaic poster to color according to the instructions on each sheet. Once all sheets are colored and cut out, they are then assembled to reveal a large mosaic/poster/mural of William Shakespeare. You will need crayons, colored pencils, or markers in light green and purple.
Poster Details
- There are 30 pieces.
- Each piece fits on a regular 8.5" x 11" piece of paper.
- The final poster is approx. 35" x 42" depending on your printer settings.
- You will need markers, crayons, or colored pencils in light green and purple.
Poster #2: William Shakespeare Collaboration Poster: Drawing
** Ideal for middle school, high school students, and art students**
This lesson is not hard but is more challenging than the coloring version in poster #1. In this lesson, each student will draw their own grid piece using a small version of their assigned gridcell as a reference. Once the pieces are drawn and cut out, the classroom poster can be assembled. This lesson engenders a lot of cooperation among students to get all of the drawings within the individual gridcells to line up well and produce a nice looking final poster of William Shakespeare. This is all about working together!
BONUS Activities:
Group collaboration posters are a lot of fun and leave a lasting impression. However, students don’t get to walk away with anything tangible to show their families. I have created a variety of handouts that individual students can work on when they are finished with their poster piece. This is also very useful for early finishers.
The handouts are for a variety of levels, so you can find one that fits your grade level. Included are:
- Unscramble the portrait drawing.
- Unscramble the portrait cut and paste (with two grid variations).
- William Shakespeare coloring page.
