What You Will Be Doing:

1. Brainstorming as a team: Decide on a theme for your community mural (e.g., cultural diversity, environmental conservation, or local history).

2. Using Padlet to collaborate: Each student will contribute different elements to the shared Padlet board based on their assigned role.

3. Presenting your work: Share your Padlet with the class and explain your choices for the mural design.

Collaborate: Padlet is a shared online workspace that allows everyone to add and edit content in real time. It’s like a digital bulletin board. Each team member will focus on a unique part of the task to ensure everyone’s input is valuable and distinct. For example:

Researcher: Finds and posts reference images or inspirational artwork.

Sketch Artist: Uploads concept sketches or visual drafts.

Writer: Writes text descriptions for the artwork’s theme and elements.

Editor: Organizes the board to make it visually appealing and easy to understand.
