Materials Needed: Whiteboard, Computer Lab, screen, and computers with access to Microsoft Publisher, Projector, and printer, List of poster requirements, colored pencils and markers, REP Poster exemplar.

Procedures:

In the Computer Lab:

Teacher will ask students to think of different acronyms they know. We will list on the board. Next, I will show my completed poster and explain R stands for respecting others, E means we should educate ourselves/others about using technology safely and P means we should not give our personal and private information out to strangers or others we do not know.   Students will be asked to think of how they could make their own REP poster or to promote digital citizenship.

Then the teacher will use Microsoft Publisher to demonstrate how to make a simple poster. Students will be asked to refer to List of poster requirements: black and white only color schemes. Word Art in hollow letters, and may add images from clip art.  Students will use an 81/2 x 11 portrait format.

Students will then discover and explore Microsoft Publisher on their own, with the teacher assisting as necessary.

Students will save and then print out their posters.

In the Art Room:

Students will use colored pencils or markers, or both to color their posters.

Students will share their posters with the class. Posters will be displayed in hallways.
