Activity 9 (continues)
• You can expand this activity by
asking why a poster may not be
useful, focusing on the graphic
and textual references.

Activity 10
• Help your students with the
meta-language involved
in talking about graphic
and textual elements (e.g.
highlighted, font, small
capitals, etc.).
• Remind your students that bad
distribution and use of graphic
and textual components may
be just as big a handicap
to understanding as
incorrect content.
• If available, you can use a
word processor to show what
the changes would look like
in real time. If not, you could
prepare some templates with
different fonts, sizes and distinct
typography which would help
your students to preview
their decisions.
• Make sure your students decide
on an appropriate graphic
layout, but also be flexible so as
to let them explore possibilities
that, while uncommon, may
be appealing.
