Citizenship Posters

We will be going to Glogster and creating two posters dealing with citizenship. There are many traits that a good citizen might have. Here are a few:

  1. Obeys the law
  2. Respects authority (police, etc.)
  3. Contributes to society and the community
  4. Love his/her country
  5. Respects all nationalities
  6. Believes in doing what is right
  7. Stands up for the rights of others
  8. Tries to serve others before himself/herself

You will pick two of the above traits and make two posters–one trait per poster. The poster will be made at Glogster.

Reading Project

You are required to do two projects for your reading class each quarter.  I am going to give you three days to work on your projects.  You must complete at least one project during that time and that project must be electronic.  It does not matter how you choose to do your project–you may do a Prezi, a PowerPoint, a Word document, or a Glog.

Below is a Prezi of a favorite book of mine.  You will notice that I told about the author, outlined a few of the major characters, gave a synopsis of the book without giving away the ending, and gave a recommendation.
