Webquest: Electronic Poster
1. You need only one Power Point slide
2. Choose a background
3. Choose four imagess. Do not download your images so you can avoid getting a
virus on your computer; simply copy and paste.
4. Make sure that the images relate to the issues (the most important events of
his/her life; writing career and award winning/best works; famous
quotations; contributions to literary world) that you are trying to present.
Avoid silly images—they may get you a laugh by your peers, but hurt your grade.
5. Choose a font; make it bold; make sure its color is in big contrast to the
background so we can see it better. Write your “caption” above the image and
put the “attribution” (look below the text under In-text Attribution) under the
image.
6. Speaking Notes (minimum 200 words): click on the Notes Page (under the
slide—go to View, choose Notes Page so you can see the whole box on the
second half of the page and write in it—it will say ”click to add text”) and copy
and paste your main issues (captions).
7. Explain each issue clearly and concisely in the Speaking Notes. You need only
one source. Provide a Works Cited entry at the bottom of the Speaking Notes for
your source.
8. When you complete the assignment, look closely over your slide and proofread
your text to avoid grammatical and contextual errors.
9. Go to View, click on the Notes Page to make sure your poster is complete.
