Visualization: Turning Literature Into Art

Help me give my students the chance to make literature come to life through creativity. The large paper will create posters that represent charcuterie from the text. This is not possible without the use of various markers.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cupsa's classroom raised $296

My Project

Visualization and the connections we make when turning words into art are imperative for understanding all types of literature, fiction and non fiction alike. These supplies will allow my students the opportunity to collaborate and create posters and portfolios based on the reading and writing we are studying in language arts classes.

Help me guide these young minds in the exploration of words and how they become visual representations that enhance the feelings behind them.

From poetry created by them, to character analysis of famous works including Shakespeare and Golding, to recreating the past these items will help students immerse themselves in comprehension.
