Tips for Creating a Sequencing Anchor Chart
Anchor charts are a great teaching tool. They capture the most important content and learning strategies, including rules, definitions, examples, and all the details students must memorize.
Students are attracted to the colorful displays. At a glance, students have the information they need to complete tasks.
You don't have to be an artist to create anchor charts. In fact, simple illustrations without details are easier for students sitting a distance away to make out.
I recommend changing anchor charts frequently. They are more effective if new anchor charts are displayed when skills are introduced or when students are practicing a particular skill. Take the anchor chart down and replace it with a new one when new skills are taught.
