Scientific Revolution/Enlightenment Poster Board Project
Name: ____________________________________ Period: ______ Due Date: Tuesday, January 22, 2013
OBJECTIVE: Create an advertising poster using poster board for an influential scientist or Enlightenment thinker that lived during the Scientific Revolution or Enlightenment.
SCENARIO: Your assigned scientist/thinker is promoting his invention or idea and you must “sell it” to the public or Catholic Church.
WHAT IS AN ADVERTISINGPOSTER? A bill or placard for posting often in a public place; especially: one that is decorative or pictorial; an eye-catching printed paper announcement or advertisement that is exhibited to promote a product, event, or idea.
DIRECTIONS: Using the computer lab time provided on Thursday and Friday (that should be enough to get you started) and your textbook, create an informative and interesting advertising poster/campaign for the scientist assigned to you. The more remarkable the poster the more likely your scientist will be to promote/sell his idea or invention.
Facts must be accurate and a drawing or picture of the scientist or his invention or idea must be included.
