Would students work better with visual searches or might they be distracting? Here are some that I’ve experimented with recently. I hope that you not only find them useful, I hope that you find them fun!

Wonderful Displays

 

Designing your own posters is a great way to fill your classroom space with a personalized feel. Everywhere your students look, there could be hanging reminders of past lessons, or posters foreshadowing what’s to come, or simply to spark curiosity.

Design them on your computer and any Office Maxx type store can enlarge them and turn them into glossy masterpieces. It can be a bit pricey for larger posters, ($30) but many stores give discounts for teachers. Also these can be re-used throughout the years, and be viewed as long term investments.
