Ernest Hemingway is my favorite Modern American author, and I am so happy to share this collaborative poster with you! I'm always looking for ways to enhance our A Farewell to Arms unit since the text is so heavy and tragic. These posters are a great way for students to get to know Hemingway and flex their research muscles at the same time.
Students enjoy the opportunity to work with their peers, express their creativity, and show-what-they-know in a format more fun than tests, quizzes, or research papers.
My students love to compete for the best one! They sometimes use these collaborative posters to enhance their Hemingway presentations, and I choose special ones to display on our English department's bulletin board.
The process is simple:
Print the three pages of the poster on a standard printer for 8.5 x 11" paper.
Students color the images and fill in the supplemental graphics.
Tape the three sheets together in order.
Now, your poster is ready for display!
You will receive a zip folder containing three .jpeg files. Each file is one page of the three-page poster. The pages are clearly labeled.
The poster contains fine-line images to color. (I recommend using colored pencils for best results.) The images are in chronological order starting with WWI Ernest and then progressing to Key West Ernest and Cuba Ernest. Students can replicate his awards, include famous quotations, note Ernest's travel destinations, fill in a timeline, and render the Old Man and the Sea famous book cover.
