Construct the anchor charts as part of a lesson plan. This task can be completed as part of the actual lesson, or after the main teaching points have been covered in class. Identify the key points of a particular lesson, and then design a fun way to draw them on large pieces of construction paper, or poster boards.
Use different colors and designs in your anchor charts, as well as cutouts pasted onto poster boards highlighted by colored pens or crayons. Eye-catching charts will give your pupils rich reminders of the curriculum under study, and helpful reference points if they ever get lost or confused during a lesson.
Display your anchor charts on the classroom walls in a very visible place, where the students can see them often and everyday. Depending on the size of your classroom, you can adhere them to the walls (with sticky tack or tape) near the whiteboard, by the door, above the cupboards, the supply cabinets and the coat closet.
