Poster Design LessonK-5
CCSS.ELA-Literacy SL.K.5 Add drawings or other visual displays to
descriptions as desired to provide additional detail.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy SL.3.5 Create engaging audio recordings of stories or poems that
demonstrate fluid reading at an understandable pace; add visual displays when appropriate
to emphasize or enhance certain facts or details.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy SL.5.5 Include multimedia components (e.g., graphics, sound) and visual displays in presentations when appropriate to enhance the development of main ideas or themes.

contrast paper – no yellow on a light color and no black over dark colors!
Big, bold pictures!
Big letters for sub-heads
Capital letters are used for words that have to stand out
If you have a big paragraph, it goes under its picture
Try a “Poster Walk”around your school
Ask what different kinds ofposters you see…

Poster Design Lesson6-8
CCSS.ELA-Literacy SL.6.2 Interpret information presented in diverse media and formats (e.g., visually, quantitatively, orally)
and explain how it contributes to a topic, text, or issue under study.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy SL.6.5 Include multimedia components
(e.g., graphics, images, music, sound) and visual displays in presentations to clarify information
ELA Common Core Standards(Middle School)
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RH.6-8.7Integrate visual information
(e.g., in charts, graphs, photographs, videos, or maps) with other information in print and digital texts.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.6-8.7 Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text with a version of
that information expressed visually (e.g., in a flowchart, diagram, model, graph, or table).
History/SS Common Core Standards
Science/Tech Common Core Standards
In Middle School, students start to learn how to connect the dots they learned about in Elementary School.
Poster projectscan be used to help
visualize this process.
• musical - rhythmic
• visual - spatial
• verbal - linguistic
• logical - mathematical
• bodily - kinesthetic
• interpersonal
• intrapersonal
• naturalistic
Start by doing a similarposter walk of your building.
How are the messages differentthan they are for younger
students?
Messages might be more complicated
Mnemonics used for younger grades bridge the gap between elementary and high school
Accompanying pictures are a bit more complex
Poster Design Lesson9-12
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.11-12.5
Make strategic use of digital media (e.g., textual, graphical, audio, visual, and interactive elements) in presentations to enhance understanding of findings,
reasoning, and evidence and to add interest.
ELA Common Core Standards

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.11-12.7 Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of
information presented in diverse formats and media
(e.g., quantitative data, video, multimedia) in order to address a question or solve a problem.

Serious subjectmatter
Complex imagesand/or typography
Using better tools thatthey learned how to use in Middle School, students are
able to demonstratehow to visually organize
both academic projects and abstract concepts.
But left alone, they stillmake mistakes…
… here was a poster tourin my hallways:
No yellow type on white paper!
No yellow type on white paper!
No dark type on dark paper!
Don’t clutter it up!
Make it interesting!
Some better examples…
Time to rethink your work!
