Ideas for Use
- Each student in a group receives an 8.5” x 11” page to complete, and their individual page becomes part of a larger group poster, reinforcing that every individual has an important role to play in the classroom.
- The class is divided into groups, and each group receives an 8.5” x 11” page to complete. Then the four pieces are put together, which involves more students in the making.
- Use the pages to record notes from a class discussion about norms, procedures and values. Once they are decided upon and agreed to, post a final copy in the classroom.
- (Hint: You could also laminate the templates and write on them with a dry-erase marker to make changes/updates as the year progress, or to reuse year after year).
To display their completed poster, students trim along the dotted edges and place their pages side by side on a background.
