How have you addressed these questions in your planning phase? Individually, answer these questions about your Crime Stoppers Poster Planning.
Turn and Talk With a neighbor, discuss each others planning by reviewing and sharing what you wrote on the “Plan a Poster” worksheet. In your sketchbook, respond to these prompts: What are similarities in your planning? What are difference in your planning? Did your partner plan for something that you did not think of? Is there any new information you would like to address now?
