| Display Projects In this project,
you will be communicating ideas and information to other
people in a graphic form. You will be researching a topic
and sharing this information on a bulletin board or in a
display.
1. Decide on a topic
2. Assess present knowledge
_____ I already know a lot about this topic, but I could
learn more.
_____ I already know a little about this topic.
_____ I don't know very much about this topic.
3. Research
Keep records of your sources of information, so you will
have all the facts you need to complete an accurate
bibliography and to recheck sources if needed.
I have completed research using these sources of
information:
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
4. Select information
Select the information you think is most important. Put
an * next to the facts and concepts you think are most
important.
5. Decide on presentation
Brainstorm a list of several different ways that this
information could be presented. The ideas you list should
show variety and be graphic in nature. Your goal is to
create an attention-getting display.
Consider using some of these techniques:
- Graphs, maps, short summaries, pictures or
illustrations, charts or models.
6. Prepare objects for display.
Collect or make all of the things that you will be
putting in your display. Remember that every item should
present an idea or fact about your topic. Make everything
big, bold, and colourful. Clearly label everything so
people can tell what it is.
7. Prepare display surfaces.
Choose a suitable background or make a backdrop.
8. Mount objects on display surface. Make sure your
finished display:
- has main headlines or titles that are visible
from a distance
- has a variety of things for people to look at,
read, or do
- creates interest in the topic
9. Present your project
10. Evaluation
What do you think is the best thing about this
presentation?
What do you think could be improved?
11. Application
What information in this display is most likely to change
in the next ten years? What effects will this have?
