Students choose either to use paper & pens to prepare the poster on the topic “a peaceful & sustainable planet”, or to use an online program to prepare the poster.

Firstly, they use the PDF file to make use of one of the templates given to organizing their ideas and notes.

Secondly, they share their templates full of their ideas with their peers to get feedback on their cause & effect notes. Each feedback has to be given on post-its. If you are in class, you can use the learning stations technique; if this is an online classroom, you can use an interactive board such as padlet to share the prepared templates and give feedback.

Students prepare their posters using their cause & effect ideas. They can draw pictures or use some actual pictures to increase the effectiveness of their posters.

Lastly, all the posters are put on the walls of the classroom or exhibited on padlet. Depending on the time, the station technique can be used again.
