Designing your Presentation Board

Ideally the assignment that you get from your teacher will have criteria that include expectations regarding the poster you create. If your teacher doesn't provide guidance in those areas, use these suggestions to help you with your poster.

Required Elements

title

facts and information

graphics (photos, drawings) that are informative, not decorative

works cited list

Think about quality and creativity as you plan your presentation. The poster should indicate understanding and application of the information found - not just that it was found.

Quality
Is at least half of the work original - not copied from a print source or web page?
Is the project neatly and carefully done?
Are the lines straight?
Are words spelled correctly?
Are all graphics identified and related to the topic?
Did I choose good colors for text, framing of pictures, theme of presentation?

Creativity
Did I create instead of copy and paste lists and pictures?
How does my use of color enhance my project?
How does the arrangement of text and graphics improve my project?
Did I include elements beyond those required?
What makes my project different from others created by my classmates?
