Posters that answer the question students keep asking

For the teacher on Monday morning

What these are

25 A3 posters across 7 sets, print-ready. Each one takes a single thing a student has to know — what an assessment objective is worth, which formulae a paper can ask for, the order the moves of an answer go in — and sets it large enough to read from the back of the room.

What they are for

The wall of the room the subject is taught in, and the corridor outside it. Every statement is quoted from the published subject content or the board’s own specification, so what is on the wall is what the examiner is working from — not a paraphrase of it.

How they help students

A student who can see which objective a question is testing stops writing everything they know and starts writing the thing being marked. One that has had the formula list on the wall for two years is not meeting it for the first time in a paper. And a poster answers the question without the student having to put a hand up to ask it.
