This site is a free online poster site. This would be wonderful for students to use in order to create posters of a biography that has been read, or on a topic for research in the lab. Other suggestions might be the identification of the summary of a story or the characters listed in a story. One might even create a wanted poster of a character to focus on traits. The possibilities are endless!
