Background Information(Day 1): Students will receive the necessary background information to complete their research and poster on their chosen literary movement. I will share my PowerPoint on the literary movements and my glogster poster on American Romanticism with my computer and projector.

Research(Day 2): Students will be in the library getting the necessary information and skills for researching their chosen literary movement. I will request a big screen and laptop so all students can see me go through the steps for researching and setting up a glogster account as well as inviting me and their partner to the site. Students will be provided the guidelines for the literary movement poster assignment as well as the approved web sites.

Creating Poster (Days 3-5): Students will be provided rubric for the assessment of their literary movement posters. Students will be in the computer lab creating their posters. Each student will have access to their own computer.

Presentations (Days 7-8): Students will be given presentation rubric prior to their presentations. Students will be in the classroom using computer and projector to display their literary movement poster. I will provide a wireless remote so that students do not have to sit at computer to navigate electronic poster. The audience will be provided evaluations to complete for presentations.

Assessments (Day 9): Students will fill out peer and self assessments so that students are accountable to share work. Grades will reflect these assessments. Students will also provide an assessment for me on the assignment. We will discuss improvements for the assignment in the future. Students will be in the classroom.
