Classroom Posters

Posters can reinforce a topic you are teaching (and they really dress up the classroom walls).

For one classroom assignment, my students created posters that illustrated illiteration, onomatopoeia, repitition, or rhyme. (I made the following materials available for them to use: posterboard, scissors, glue, markers, magazines.)

When they were finished, I covered the walls with the posters, a daily reminder of the literary devices we were learning.

Poster-making works well as an individual or group activity. And it is a great reinforcer for both tactile and visual learners.
