Tips for Using These Seasons Posters
Although poster sets are typically designed for classroom display purposes, they can certainly be used a variety of ways. Our teacher team has come up with some alternate uses for these posters.
- 📝 Create a fill-in-the-blank worksheet by removing selections of text.
- 📂 Place copies in students’ homework folders for reference.
- 💻 Provide posters as digital resources for home assignments.
- 🧠 Test students’ memories by showing them the poster, then hiding it and having them tell you what they remember.
- ✅ Incorporate posters into your lesson wrap-up: students write on a sticky note what they learned from the lesson and place it on the poster.
