Description

A poster presentation is an effective way to demonstrate knowledge and skills at the end of a lesson or unit. Provide learners with posters, pens, and printing materials if required.

Advantages

• A fast, effective way of presenting a new idea, skill, or concept to the class.
• Allows learners to practice skills.
• Culminates with a physical product that can be photographed and added to the learner’s portfolio to prove that learning outcomes have been met.

Disadvantages

• Can be a haphazard way of teaching. Make sure the focus stays on the content and not coloring-in or drawing pretty pictures.
• Not useful for every lesson; when learners can create a working model or diagram, that would be preferred.

Implementation

1. Have learners work in groups to visually demonstrate lesson mastery.
2. Then, have each group present their poster to the class.
