Submission Required
Each pair creates a simple persona poster using a template with sentence frames and drawings (e.g., “This is Sam. Sam plays outside when it is rainy.”). Students draw the weather condition, label it with teacher support, and illustrate what that user struggles with if dressed incorrectly. Pairs give feedback to two other pairs, receive one suggestion, and revise their drawing or label.

Student-facing instructions
You will work with a partner to create a persona poster that shows what someone might wear for a specific kind of weather.
