Next, choose a quote from the book that resonates with you. This quote should capture the essence of Dr. King's message and inspire you.

Create Your Poster Step Three

On a large sheet of paper, write your chosen "big word" boldly in the center. Use colorful markers or crayons to make it stand out.
Surround your "big word" with your own illustrations or images that relate to the word's meaning. These images can be your own creative drawings.
Below your "big word," write the selected quote from the book with a marker pen. Make sure it's clear and easy to read.
Continue to add more illustrations, colors, and decorations to your poster. Make it visually appealing and reflective of the message you want to convey.
