Ms. Moylan's Class Assignment
Create a Fun and Easily Viewable Presentation!
What Can You Do?
Great news class: we're not writing another essay! Instead, you'll be creating a Smore account and summarizing one of the short stories we've read in a poster. Using Smore, you can include anything from text, pictures, audio, embedded links, videos, and more in the presentation that you will share with the class.
What Is Your Assignment?
- Each student will create a Smore account using a student email address.
- You will pick one of the short stories we've read during this unit. You will use Smore to create a poster summarizing the story. Your flyer should explain the plot of the story to someone who has never read it before!
- You must include at least three options for presentation available on Smore (in addition to text and title, of course!).

Ms. Moylan, I Still Don't Get It!
Okay, here's a sample assignment using the book Corduroy by Don Freeman...

Corduroy The Bear
Corduroy is a stuffed bear who is hoping to be purchased by a young boy or girl. He is a brown bear with green overalls, and one of the buttons on his overalls is missing.
Location: The Big Department Store!
(This is a "bio" link.)
What Happens to Corduroy?
Corduroy waits at the department store to be purchased and loved by a child. A little girl wants to buy Corduroy, but the girl's mother says "no" because he is too expensive and missing a button on his overalls. Later that night, Corduroy comes to life and searches the big department store for a button to replace the one he lost. This search becomes an adventure!

A Girl Wants to Buy Corduroy, but He's Missing a Button
She loves him anyway, but her mother won't allow her to bring Corduroy home.
