Visual literacy, or the ability to evaluate, apply, or create conceptual visual representation, is relatively independent of language, and is therefore invaluable to learning English for the English Language Learner.

** Posters are a great way to incorporate illustrations into lessons and themes. Below are several ideas for poster-making: **

__ Illustrated Timeline __ Tell the plot or sequence on a timeline, with pictures that depict the events.



__ Movie Poster __ Advertise the content from a lesson by creating a movie poster complete with ratings, pictures, actors, descriptions, and comments by a critic.
 * __ ﻿ __**

**__ Comic Strip __** Create a 6-paneled (or more) ** comic ** strip of the lesson content.

__ ﻿ __

__ I ____ mage and Quote __ Choose an image and quote from the lesson content that are representative or important. Poster should include a title.

__ Advertisement __ Choose an item from the lesson content and make a newspaper or magazine ad for it.

__Image and quote with cooperative poster-__ groups of four are formed. Students read a selection. Each chooses a quote and an image that have impact for them. Found robin share. Groups come to consensus on favorite image and quote. Each student takes one colored pen. With all members participating, and each using their chosen color, they draw the group image and write the group quote on a piece of butcher or easel paper. Each member signs the poster with his or her pen. Posters are shared with the class. media type="custom" key="7927782"
