Article: [senco-forum] Punctuation posters - not SEN

Love the concept and ideas - hate the presentation.

(As an artist) Word Art is a pet hate of mine - it's dated and overused.
Pupils will spend 20 minutes faffing with these titles - changing the
colour, size, angle and style endlessly whist spending no time on the
content.

Apart from the errors peoiple have already popinted out why are these in
Times New Roman - surely Comic Sans or my favourite - Sasson are better
fonts for SEN pupils?

A couple of years ago I did a similar set of poster covering all aspects of
punctuation and presentation for a whole school campaign designed to raise
awareness and standards - but I've lost the file before anyone asks!

 >>>think there's an error on the speech marks one though <<<

& look at the semicolon poster too:
Opens speech marks but closes 'em not
(second example).
