Unit 1 Voc Poster

Get your vocabulary poster from the hallway.  Take a picture of your poster and insert it into your blog.  

Then answer the following reflection questions:

  • What grade do you feel your poster deserves?  Why?
  • What was the biggest take away (what did you learn) from creating your poster and completing the gallery walk?  
  • What do you wish you had done differently?
