Bulletin Boards to Accompany Literature

To accompany our presentation over The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, our group had to make a bulletin board. I think bulletin boards are a great way for teachers to highlight ideas and concepts that they want students to remember; however, I feel that students are not usually allow to be involved in the creation of the bulletin board. I think a good idea for the classroom would be to have a poll. This makes students feel like they have a voice in how their classroom looks. As teachers, we always want to give students choices, so including them in your bulletin board is a great way to do this! We used selections our classmates found and included those selection into our bulletin board. It was a way to give our class a voice in our representation of the novel!
