INTERNET SAFETY, ANTI-BULLYING POSTER

Poster


You and your partner will create a poster in Excel using an idea you recorded from the video presentation. To make it attractive and unique and "catchy":


1. Look at images that would work for the topic and decide what message you could send using that image.


2. Decide on the message and then find an image that matches.


3. Check out this Ad Slogan site or this one or this one or this one or this one or this one or this one or search for one.  You may be able to choose a familiar/popular slogan for your message (Even a caveman ..., You're in good hands ..., 15 minutes ....).


4.  Choose a TV or video game or movie/rock star.  What is something that person says all the time?  How would that person talk to kids?  (BART:  "Eat my shorts", "Cowabunga!")


* Anything you use of someone else's from the Internet... you MUST create a small text box on the bottom of your poster where you'll paste the URL.
