A Guiding Bulletin Board Checklist:

__ Emphatic: conveys message quickly and clearly

__ Attractive: colors and arrangement catch and hold interest

__ Balanced: remains formal or informal throughout

__ Unified: repeated shapes or colors or use of borders holds display together visually

__ Interactive: involves the viewer, could allow for viewer interaction beyond the visual

__ Legible: lettering and visuals can be read across the room

__ Lettered properly: spelled correctly, plain typeface, lowercase letters except where capitals needed

__ Relative: correlated with lesson objectives

__ Durable: well constructed physically, items securely attached

__ Neat: a clean, neat appearance makes the display more attractive, provides role model for student work
