Directions for Class on Friday, November 7th
You are to decide upon a common superstition to research from what we discussed as part of the bell work for today. You are to use the search engines on the LMC
website (http://atthecmslmc.weebly.com/)
and click on the “Ready to Research” tab.
You are permitted to use any of the search engines provided on this
page. You do not need to create a works
cited page for this in-class assignment.
Once you have recorded your findings in the packet, you are to create a poster that depicts your superstition and incorporates
some of the facts that you learned about it.
Your poster should be an “infograph,” meaning that it is to be a combination
of illustrations and written words (your facts) to help the viewer(s) understand the
topic.
When ten minutes remain in class, you will display your poster
on the bulletin board in the back of the room so that others can view your work while you view the work of
others. You must complete a gallery walk exit slip on another student's work.
Research Questions
1. What is the
superstition that you are researching?
2. Where did this

3. Can this
superstition be tied to a specific person or group of people?
4. What is the story
behind this superstition?
5. Are there other
forms or variations of this superstition, perhaps in modern times or from other
countries?
6. If a person
believes in this superstition, how do they react when presented with whatever the
superstition is? (Include whether this
is harmless or potentially life-interfering belief.)
