“Wanted Posters” are often used in literature units, because they give students the opportunity to complete a focused analysis on an important character. Students evaluate and record how a character talks, feels, thinks, and acts to create a “Wanted Poster.”
I also use “Wanted Posters” during Math Workshop; they help my students analyze numbers. For example, my students create posters about the different forms of numbers (expanded, standard, etc.), decimals, and fractions. Click below for a printable fraction “Wanted Poster.” Completing this poster requires students to compare and order fractions, as well as identify equivalent fractions. Students always enjoy wrinkling the posters and artistically cutting the edges to make them appear as if they really came from the wild west! J
