In-class InstructionsClass #1 Make a team and meet with them. Decide which subject you want to research and makea list of your top 3. Group numbers will be picked out of a hat to see who decides first. Assign each group member a section of the poster and start brainstorming as a teamusing the K-W-L chart (see appendix).Class #2 Using the computers or the library, find information on your own section of the poster.Take notes in your copybook (we will not come back).Some good resources (I have the books):The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J. K. Rowling (book)Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander (J. K. Rowling, book)Quidditch Through the Ages by Kennilworthy Whisp (J. K. Rowling, book)An Interview with J. K. Rowling by Lindsey Fraser (book)The Complete Idiot’s Guide to the World of Harry Potter by Tere Stouffer .wikia.com/wiki/Main Page After 25 minutes, meet with your team and discuss what you found. Do you want tomention this aspect of the HSS? What qualities are you looking for in your students? Homework: Finish research.Class #3 Write your rough draft. Summarizing is NOT plagiarizing! Use your own words. Meet with your peers who are in charge of the same section as you (e.g. list of schoolsupplies). Discuss what you have found and proofread each other’s drafts. Do your textslook similar? Are you on the same track? What grade would you give each other? (Useevaluation grid). What could the other do better?Class #4 In your team, discuss your poster layout. What does a poster look like? Whose partshould go first/last for the Open House? What information needs to be most visible? Etc. Write final version of your text. Homework: Finish the final copy and meet with your team to assemble the poster. Thepresentation will be in a week.Class #5 Assemble poster with your team Review your part and proofread one more time. Presentation will be next class.

Class #6 Display your poster around the room. Using the feedback form, give your opinion on each poster presentation. Back up youropinion with a reason (e.g. I liked this poster because it had lots of pictures). At the end of the fair, write a short reflection (5-8 sentences) on what it was like to doteam work. What did you like? What did you dislike? What could you improve next time?Do you think this project is good for teamwork? For next time, what can the teacher doto make teamwork easier? Give each of your teammate a grade out of 5, explaining why. (e.g. I think Timmydeserves a 4 because he did his work well but didn’t talk during discussions).
