Displays

The simple definition of displays is: the student creates a visual representation of his knowledge of a subject. This visual representation is meant to inform the viewer on the subject matter.

Displays may stand alone, or be accompanied by auditory supplements. Examples of displays include (but are not limited to):

Display boards
Multi-media presentations
Slide shows
Science experiments

When starting a display project of any kind with a student, it is well to begin by setting clear goals, procedures and standards for evaluation. Self-evaluation of display projects is highly recommended, and for help with developing goals and standards with your student, click here.

Display Boards

(excerpted from the Introductory Notes of Tapestry's Writing Scope & Sequence):

What’s a display board? We are big fans of our county fair and History Fair (that our church Home School group hosts each year). Display boards are fun projects packed with learning possibilities! A typical display board can be inexpensively purchased at your local arts and crafts store. A typical display board has information posted on the board itself, and then a model, or samples, or an activity on the table in front of the display. On a display board of the Foods of the World, you might have a map, some papers that explain about certain foods, and then, on the table in front, there might be plates with sample foods on them. Many display boards are suggested throughout this curriculum. They are fun to do, and make a nice break from reading and writing assignments as a means to evaluation of material learned.
