    • Purpose

      • Poster 1: Class Rules

        • The first poster/flier I created had the purpose of making visual the rules for my classroom for the students.

        • The purpose of this is to create a friendly, engaging, and affirming environment for students where they respect the teacher and other peers (as the rules are especially outlined in the poster in an aesthetic manner)

        • The second poster/flier has the purpose of reminding students that my classroom is a safe place where they ​are encouraged to see themselves as smart, kind, strong, and special.
