Chapter 66

Design a poster. Working with one or more partners from your year group, decide on a suitable poster topic (perhaps something linked to your current teaching programme). Working individually, make an outline plan of the major elements of the poster, with appropriate sub-headings and a brief indication of the content and relative size of each element (including figures, diagrams and images). Exchange draft plans with your partners and arrange a session where you can discuss their merits and disadvantages.

Prepare a checklist for assessing the quality of a poster presentation. After reading through this chapter, prepare a ten-point checklist of assessment criteria under the heading 'What makes a good poster presentation?' Compare your list with the one that we have provided online - do you agree with our criteria, or do you prefer your own list (and can you justify your preferences)?
