Coach Ward's Pre-Ap World History Classes created an interactive poster using Glogster. Their assignment was to create an inter-active movie poster for the book they read this summer.  They were given the choice of reading "Pastwatch", by Orson Scott Card, or "Revolution is not a dinner party"' by Ying Chang Compestine.  They were told the book was being made into a movie and the were to create a poster for the theatre that centered on one of the key themes or ideas from the book.  Some of the presentations were presented in the library.
