STEP TWO: DESIGN (DAY 3-5) Get your creative juices flowing! Be artistic! Your poster will be the size of a regular sheet of paper (8.5 x 11) but feel free to use both sides, ifnecessary. This poster must include a picture of the element at room temperature (either from online or handdrawn). Think about where you want to place it: center? top corner? bottom corner? This poster must include all the information outlined in the graphic organizer. This poster must include at least 3 sources cited — from books or websites You have two options to create this poster:- Option 1: Old School Use paper, markers, colored pencils and design it by hand- Option 2: High-Tech Use a Google Docs or Google Slides to type and add graphicsSTEP THREE: SHOWCASE! (DAY 6) Posters should be complete and ready for viewing. Any posters created using Google Docs/Slides should be printed in full color. Our class will be split into 2 groups. The first group will present their elements while the secondgroup does a gallery walk, listening to presentations. Then each group will switch. Be ready to speak about your element for about 2 minutes- Remember to to make eye-contact & stand with good posture- Make sure your speaking volume is loud enough for your audience- The tone of your voice should sound animated and interested
