This document provides instructions for a student assignment to create a medieval-themed PowerPoint poster. Students will research a topic from medieval English literature and create a single slide PowerPoint poster containing images, text, and hyperlinks related to their topic. Examples of topics include elements from The Canterbury Tales, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Le Morte De Arthur. Students will have three class periods to complete their poster. They will submit their completed slide to the correct student folder and present their poster in a 3-5 minute presentation. The document includes an assessment rubric that will be used to evaluate the posters.
