Check out part 1 here!After spending time writing down information, gathering facts (not opinions), and figuring out what they wanted to share, everyone was on to their next step!
The children sat down with me and saw various ways to display information. They saw charts, bullets, graphs and webs. From there each child decided on a layout for a poster. The thinking then changed: what was the best information to share? There were a lot of facts gathered, but what would fit on the poster? And what information was too much?
Inspired by what they were shown, what their neighbors were doing, and what was in their own heads, the children began to write their ideas down. I was there to guide thinking about layout and general organization. There children referred to their fact sheets and informational books they made earlier to decide what to write down.
