Poster

Provide students with the following tips for making a good visual display, poster, or collage: Complete your research first. Read the information and make point form notes on what you want to include. Think about what images you will use to represent some of the information you've read about. Create a "thumbnail" (miniature) sketch that shows where you will place text and images in your product. Try more than one design to determine how everything looks together. Choose a final layout and make a full-size sketch of it. Stand back and look at it critically to see how it will look for your viewer. Do the text and photos/illustrations work well together? Can it be seen clearly from a distance? Click here to view the student activity.
