Poster Presentations

speakinglisteningfluencycommunicationmainwhole-classmedium prep25-35 min

Each learner prepares a talk supported by a poster with main points, pictures, and diagrams, then presents it multiple times as listeners circulate.

Procedure

  1. Each learner prepares a short talk on their chosen or assigned topic.
  2. Each learner creates a poster containing the main points of the talk with pictures, photos, or diagrams to support the presentation.
  3. Presenters stand or sit at their poster station.
  4. Listeners move around, stopping at posters that interest them to hear the presentation.
  5. Each presenter delivers their talk multiple times to different listeners.
  6. Optionally, listeners can ask questions after each presentation.

Tips

  • The repeated delivery naturally develops fluency as presenters become more comfortable with each retelling.
  • Posters serve as visual cues that reduce memory load and support the speaker.
  • Can involve multimedia presentations for more advanced learners.
  • Works well as the culmination of project work or prepared talks.
  • Different from Gallery Walk in that presenters actively deliver talks rather than viewers silently reading posted work.
