We held our 2nd SSMS Jr. Tech Camp last Thursday after school.  Our jr. tech campers were shown a historical review of campaign posters from the mid-1800’s through today, highlighting the symbols and slogans used by past and current politicians.  They were then let loose with Scholastic’s Create A Campaign Poster online activity to create a campaign poster of their own.  I was very impressed with their posters.  Thank you to Sherwood Middle’s wonderful librarian, Karen Smith, for telling me about this online activity.  Our students loved it and it fit perfectly with our 2nd six weeks’ Presidential Election theme!

You can see some of our happy campers and a few of their creative campaign posters in the following Animoto video…
