We went to the library for the whole class period to allow students to work at the tables or computers as they gathered information for their poster... OUTLINES for the character essay were due by the end of the period.

Requirements for the poster:

• at least 3 quotes that demonstrate how your research is related to the book's allusion(s)
• at least 3 quotes from your internet research (CITED SOURCES!!!) that explain the allusion
• at least 2 paragraphs that explain, in your own words, the connections between the historical event or literary reference and the book you are reading
• visuals that help clarify the information (again, don't forget to cite your sources)

Posters are due on MONDAY, April 27th.
