Get Up
Stay Up
Be Up
Stand Up
Always Up
Up, Up and Away
Up we go
Looking Up
Growing Up
Mentally Up
Gearing Up

Hey Jayme-
ReplyDeleteI hope you got my email about the feedback from the group critique. These posters are really coming along- and a few tweaks would really help them out- I think I wrote this in the email, but people made some really great, and really specific suggestions about what you could do. For instance, adding a window to the poster with the bags- would go along with what the poster says- it would be tempting us to get outside. Also, the poster with the grass and the child studying could be separated into two different posters. I really like the imagery associated with the grass- but I wonder if you could change the wording so that we are excited about being in the outfield (which normally isn't a great thing- as people were saying in crit- because children don't often hit the ball to the outfield). Maybe something about catching fly balls?
Anyway, I'm excited to see where these are going- can't wait to see more-
