Process & Resources
Your team will create a poster describing the attributes of Like-As Man. The Goony Tunes Company is requesting that you use at least 5 similes in your description of Like-As Man. Your poster should also include a super-heroic image of Like-As Man that will be developed by your Design Team.
Your finished poster can be a butcher paper poster, a poster board, or an electronically-created poster made with a program such as PowerPoint, Word, or Publisher.
Students will work in groups of 4 with the following roles and responsibilities:
Design Team – (2 team members) Create an image of Like-As Man. You can use paper, pencil, crayons, markers. You can also use the Paint program on your computer. If your end result poster is made with a computer program such as Publisher, and if you created your Like-As Man with paper and markers, your team will also be responsible to scan your image so that it can be inserted electronically. Your team will not be creating the actual finished poster for the Goony Tunes Company---just the picture of Like-As Man that will be a part of the poster.
Research Team - (2 team members) Visit websites and look at examples of similes and write a definition of what a simile is. Use as many of the websites listed in the Resource section as you need in order to figure out what a simile is.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once the Design Team and the Research Team have completed their tasks, the 2 teams should combine themselves to become a 4-member Production Team.
Production Team responsibilities:
1. Decide on at least 5 descriptive words that best fit your superhero.
2. Write similes with your descriptive words. The 2 members of the former Research Team will need to teach the former 2 members of the Design Team about similes before this part of the process can begin.
3. Create the finished poster that will become part of the official Goony Tunes advertising campaign for Like-As Man. The poster should contain the image of Like-As man that team members created as well as at least 5 similes describing Like-As Man.
