Help!?
What can we use if we don't have poster paper, glue, or a magazine photo?
Use a flattened cardboard box or a large sheet of printer paper for the poster, a glue stick or clear tape to attach the picture, and either print a photo with an adult or let the child draw the picture instead.
What should we do if we can't find reliable information or the picture won't stay attached or the paragraph has mistakes?
Ask an adult to help find two reliable sources like a library biography or reputable websites for the reading step, use tape or a glue stick if regular glue won't hold the picture when attaching it to the poster, and have the adult help proofread or use a spell-check on the paragraph before you copy it onto the poster.
How can this activity be adapted for younger or older kids?
For younger children, have an adult read one short biography and help write 1–2 simple facts and draw the picture, while older kids can research two reliable sources independently, write a longer 5–7 sentence paragraph, and add a small bibliography line where they found the information.
How can we enhance or personalize the poster beyond the basic steps?
Add a timeline of the celebrity's achievements using colored markers, include symbols or glitter stars for accomplishments as decorations, glue a small printed citation where you found your information, and scan or photograph the finished poster to share on DIY.org.
