Construction of poster should provide repeated reinforcement of information and motivation because children will 1) gain information and see a mativatianal movie; 2) analyze material and decide, alone or by group discussion, on the content and format of the posters they will make; 3) express creativity in constructing posters, a � ' process that reviews infora►ation and develops involvement and commitment to the concepts expressed; 4) participate in the selection of three class posters that communicate most effectively to them, thereby evaluating their own and others' work. 5) Pub- ' licity about this contest will affect the community, promoting p�rent and other citizen education and involvement.
