Recruitment Posters:

Students have chosen one of the original 13 colonies. Their job is to make a recruitment poster, or advertisement, to entice Englishmen and women to leave everything and help populate THEIR colony. The posters need to be:

• Appealing and clean from a distance. Fine print is fine, but there needs to be a clear title/slogan.
• Identifiable as THEIR colony. It needs to say their colony name clearly and accurately represent the virtues of their colony.
• strategic. How are they recruiting people? With guilt? Pride? Adventure? Opportunities?

These will be due TUESDAY. Students will be graded on cleanliness, truthfulness, and overall appeal for their colony. Posters are half of a posterboard (they are precut and in the classroom).

Have a WONDERFUL WEEKEND! Blessings!
