I made the posters in the image with the help of the class during our lesson sequence on narrative writing. We originally looked at how a story has a beginning, a middle, and an end, then looked at popular fairy tales to explore plot, setting, and characters. These posters helped form the base knowledge required for the creation of their own fairy tales with reference to these examples from known texts. These simple posters were used to create a second, permanent fixture, for the classroom. This secondary poster included all parts of narrative writing and was more visually stimulating for the students with the inclusion of suitable fairy tale images for each sub-heading. Unfortunately I didn’t take any photos of this and it was left pinned to the classroom wall!

I selected this poster, as I believe the ability to ask a good question is highly important. As a primary teacher, every class I have will see a poster similar to this, although the criteria will change slightly depending on the age of the students I am teaching. I have seen many students struggle to successfully question, in literacy, mathematics, and even the school yard. Subsequently, these students could also struggle with comprehension. How can you identify facets of a text, for example, if you cannot think of questions to ask yourself whilst reading? 

This poster or posters was something that i saw in my second year placement that I really thought was helpful for the students. CAFE is not uncommon in many classroom and for good reason it focuses on key important points for literacy; Comprehension, accuracy, fluency and expanding vocabulary. Having this hanging in the classroom somewhere in one shape or form is a constant reminder for the children what is expected of them but also what they need to strive to improve. 

This is a poster I would like to put up in my own future classroom. As a student I always found myself struggle to remember what nouns, verbs, adverbs & etc were. So I thought by putting together this poster it could be useful for those students who struggle in the same way as I did. Also by including visual aids it further helps students remember what a noun is. 

This poster is an awesome way to visually show students the differences between different styles of writing.

A handmade literacy poster I have come across is this one titled ‘Making inferences’. It is not uncommon for students to struggle with reading comprehension; this poster encourages them to put the pieces together and infer.  I like this poster because it clearly outlines what an inference is using a puzzle metaphor to dissect the focus.
