3. Make a poster to show you understand the water safety rules.

       

My learning challenge is to use Google Docs to make a Water Safety Poster that teaches people how to be safe when they are around water. To help me get some good water safety poster ideas I will:

1. Talk about the water safety rules with my class.

2. Ask my Art Teacher “What makes a good poster?”

3. Look at some posters around our classroom or on the internet. www.artskills.com/postercategories.aspx

Then I will: Draw a simple plan of my water safety poster.

Then I will: Make my water safety poster.

When I finish I will ask my teacher to print a copy of my poster for display and a copy for my Headway folder.
