1.  Project for Homer’s Odyssey:  3D Poster

       1.    *at least 10 ‘details from the episode’ must be represented visually on your poster

       2.    *poster board must be between 18” x 24” and 22” x 28”

       3.    *poster board must be thick/heavy to support attached materials -

                   no ‘foam’ poster board is permitted b/c it is difficult to hang for display

       4.     *must include numerous items attached to the poster board -  at least 5 different

                   items must be used

          *Not Permitted:  -dolls of any sort (unless constructed from scratch for project)

                                      -store-bought action figures/army men/figurines of any sort

                                      -Lego materials or anything similar

                                      -food which will quickly rot

           *all items must be securely attached to the poster board

                   -points will be deducted for items which are broken or fall off

                   -remember, the poster will be hung up on a wall (not flat on a table)

          *some suggestions for 3D items to attach to the poster board:  cotton balls, sticks,

                   rocks, pebbles, buttons, paper clips, dried pasta/beans, bits of fabric,

                   string, rubber bands, toothpicks, marbles, etc

          *do not have large plain areas on your poster - be creative and colorful

           *colored markers/pencils must be used - no regular pencils permitted

           *items from the Internet are acceptable, but do not simply ‘cut-n-paste.'

            The more work which is by the student, the better
