Name:
Clouds Poster
We have looked at the 3 cloud forms and 7 additional common cloud types. It’s now time to combine
this knowledge into a visual to represent and distinguish each cloud type. You will be using cotton balls
to represent clouds as they are easily changeable to shape each unique characteristic for the clouds.
What to include:
-
Title
-
Short definition of clouds
-
Label one side of the poster with the elevations
o
Include appropriate atmospheric layer names
-
Visually represent all 10 cloud types using the characteristics that set each apart
-
Label each of the 10 common clouds
o
Include a brief description (textbook page 532-534)
-
Use appropriate vocabulary when describing clouds
-
Any other relevant information

Interpretation
of Models and
Diagrams
(distinguishing

of each cloud)
Content
Connections
(information)
I can present
information using
mostly written
content
I can analyze a single
model’s effectiveness
I can broadly show
connections in
content to models
and diagrams
Developing
Proficient
I can present information using
a singular non-written method
I can effectively present information
in a method supporting with
alternative methods as needed (1
dominant method over a second, ex
more text than images)
I can begin to understand the
effectiveness of various models
and diagrams to represent
information
I can show connections in how
information is presented to
topics in class
I can model and visualize
information with minimal
errors
I can represent a topic using models
or diagrams to simulate various
processes and actions that are most
effective
I can distinguish which models and
diagrams are most effective at
displaying information (one method
over another)
I can show clear connections
between the presentation method
and content covered in the course
I can model and visualize information
with minimal errors
Extending
I can combine multiple
methods of
communication to
effectively showcase
information on a topic
(ex: combine words
AND pictures
effectively)
I can analyze the
effectiveness of various
models when choosing
how to present
information – various
methods work together
to communicate
information
I can make multiple
clear, accurate, and
appropriate
connections and
expansions on topics
covered in class to the
visual or model
presented
