Summative Assessment

Travel Agency Posters:

The students will divide into groups of four for this project and they will remain in those groups for each subject. They will pretend that they have been hired by a travel agency to create a poster to attract people to Cumberland Island. The poster will be divided into four sections, one for each subject. In each subject, they will have specific things they will put on the poster, and they will be graded individually and as a group. The final posters will be judged by other teachers. The winning group will receive a certificate for ice cream from Bruster’s.
