 Criteria for Anti-Bullying Posters

Create an Anti-Bullying Poster that we can put up in our classroom! Your poster must have a clear message about
bullying not being acceptable and a catchy, original slogan (like the ones in the examples we saw).

Before you hand in your poster, make sure to check that you have followed all the expectations listed below,
complete the self evaluation and submit this sheet with your poster. Remember, only hand in your poster when you
can honestly give yourself a score of 3 for each of the expectations.

Your poster will be marked using the following scale:

3 = Included, instructions followed with complete accuracy
2 = Included, instructions followed with some accuracy
1= Included, instructions followed with limited accuracy
0 = Not included

Reflections:
I have always thought that language is a big part of any subject, but prior to completing this exercise I never
really thought about how many language demands we place upon our students. By the end of the day, when
an ELL has made their way through all their subjects, they will have likely experienced a taxing amount of
language demands. Going forward, I will be cognisant of this when planning lessons and will try to reduce the
load of demands I am placing on my ELLs.
