Athens+or+Sparta+GLOGSTER

In this activity we will be using a new, "free" online poster creator called [|GLOGSTER].

 * Follow the directions in order to complete the activity!**

1) Register for the website [|GLOGSTER] - click on the RED REGISTER link on the upper right hand of the screen.

2) WRITE DOWN YOUR USER NAME AND PASSWORD!

3) Once logged in scroll down your personal page to CREATE YOUR FIRST GLOG . Click on that box. Now you are ready to create. Keep this window open.

4) Now open a new window or an additional tab.

5) Your glog (poster) that you create will promote "Life in Athens" or "Life in Sparta." Use the information from your chart from last Friday - or perform a websearch for more information. Think about what it life is like for males or females in these cities, and how you would market this as a good place to live.

6) Next, you now need to find pictures from the internet that best represent the 8 facts you found interesting about life in ATHENS or SPARTA. On the image link on glogster, add and place your images around the page. You can copy from your desktop - or you can add using "image location" or "image url" simliar to what you have done with other projects for this class.

7) Now back to [|GLOGSTER] Time to start creating your poster. FIRST choose a wall picture. You may choose a pattern from website, or you can download your own from the internet.

8) Along with each picture you need to place a small text box next to each describing what your picture represents. This should be 2-3 sentences that give someone who is looking at your picture a clear idea what you are trying to describe.

9) This should be as far as you get for Monday, Sept 19th - we will finish the rest of the activity on Tuesday, Sept 20th.
