Spelling Poster Sample

As a part of our studies in Culture, Division 7 students are currently working on a poster about words in the English language that derive from other languages. Students are working by themselves or in groups, and are choosing from a variety of different languages.

Click here for a sample from Old Norse. Click on the Canuck icon to download the .pdf file.

The criteria are as follows:

For the Spelling group project, you need to do the following:

• Pick a good working partner. This project will have no more than 2 people to a group unless I give special permission.

• Look through the Spelling Bee handout. Decide on one of the languages that we get English words from for your project (ie. French, German...)

• Choose 10 English words that come from the chosen language for each person in the group. For example, a person working by his or herself should have 10 words on their poster. If a group has 2 people, they should use larger paper and have 20 words.

• Words should be written in an attractive way--fancy lettering, block lettering, etc.. This is a poster--it should have WOW!

• Decorate your poster with pictures from the culture that speaks the language you chose for your poster. If you chose German words, find pictures of German things to decorate your poster. You can use books, magazines, the Internet, whatever sources you like to find what you need. Also, you can draw or cut & paste pictures, or both.

Thanks!

A big thank-you to the parents of Nolan and Cam and, naturally, to the boys themselves, for their much-appreciated book donations from the Scholastic Book Fair! All 3 books are in high demand!
