“Six Kingdoms of Life Poster Project” is a guideline for designing a poster displaying the scientific classification of life - six kingdoms of living things: animals, plants, fungi, protists, eubacteria, and archaebacteria. It is a cross-curricular activity to engage in project-based learning when building a strong foundation for the concept of classifying live organisms. Provide your students an opportunity to convey researched information in a creative yet accessible and understandable way. When designing a poster, students think critically about every element on the poster—whether it's the text or drawing; all elements count and are chosen and arranged purposefully to further that goal. Posters are different from essays or articles in the way they convey information. Poster space is minimal, so everything counts—nothing should be extraneous. The text should be as concise as possible. The design, title, and subheadings, which will be noticed from a distance, need to be eye-catching. Definitely, making a poster is a great way to foster creativity and enhance learning. It is perfect for traditional classroom settings, 1:1 schools, or distance learning. An indication of how familiar students are with the subject is evidenced by how well they can convey it. It comes with a scoring rubric (100 points) – ½ page size – to set out clear assessment criteria and expectations for different levels of performance standards while making transparent the process of synthesizing evidence into an overall evaluative judgment. NOTE: A colorful sample is included for inspiration. If you like the sample, feel free to print this definitely a bright and uplifting poster to decorate your classroom to engage your students daily. Also, consider printing the poster on cardstock and laminating it for extended use. The zipped file includes: - PDF version for easy “print + make copies” use; - PPT version to edit the instructions and rubric to meet your needs based on your student's abilities and experience.
