I feel that my poster may have been too simple. I could possibly put more text on each poster, just to clarify my ideas. The Sherlock Holmes poster definitely needs some revision, many people felt confused about it's message. I sort of felt this in the back of my mind before turning it in today as well. Basically, simple is good, by if it's too simple, then content can be lost. For my final poster, I plan on adding some subtext to whatever on I chose. Both could certainly use it.

From what I have found out, I have brought my confusion from my paper to my poster. Lucas indicated that there wasn't clarity to whether my audience was students or teachers. So I suppose, I am having the same struggle within my poster than I am with my paper. Keeping my poster and my text on my poster directed to an audience certainly feels similar. There is a tad bit of anxiety trying to get the right words and structure so your message is fit to your audience
I certainly understand that anxiety! But I hope you were able to turn the anxiety into the energy of anticipation of success. (And then I hope you saw in class how well people responded to you final poster.)
ReplyDeleteI am also intrigued by how it seems working on the poster helped you articulate more closely your work with defining your audience for your paper. I'm wondering if this suggests that the poster activity might be a useful activity in helping older students think about audience...?
