I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO DO THIS. I am thinking how I can steal this for my classroom.
Does anyone remember an old Garfield poster that had Garfield wearing that beanie with the whirly thing on top? He has a totally blase look on his face, and the poster message says, "Obviously, you've miskaken me for someone who gives a whopptie do" (or words to that effect---obviously it didn't use the term "rat's ass"). I always through a risk-taking guidance counselor should put one of those on the door... Anyway, for several years I have wanted to put together some kind of lesson using motivational posters AND the parody posters as a way of teaching kids about simile, tone, parody, and probably other things I haven't seen yet. Learning from Deb's demo today just how important the technology piece is in many lesson plans, I can justify why I never motivated myself to actually construct this lesson. I was waiting until the technology piece offered itself to me. Well, Don, you are the technology piece. How'd ya do it?
It's actually pretty easy. Check out this link: http://bighugelabs.com/motivator.php
This website makes the posters for you. All you have to do is choose a picture and write your text and this website does the rest for you. They also do a ton of other cool things you might use as a teacher; check out the links at the bottom of the poster maker's page.
I find myself once again wanting to change my research question. How about.... How long can Cher spend on this website? Answer? I'll let you know on Monday :) Thanks again, Don, for sharing a wonderful way to motivate students!
