An anchor chart is a list or a poster that is created during a discussion or a lesson. The person making the anchor chart records the information and the main ideas and points of the lesson. If need be, anchor charts are made into a neater, final version that can be displayed and used for future reference during a unit. Oftentimes teachers use bullet points, numbers, and even graphic organizers such as KWL Charts or T-Charts on their anchor posters to help keep information organized.
Anchor charts are important because they keep track of information that is relevant to a discussion or lesson. They can be made at the beginning or end of a lesson or unit, and contain important visual reminders of information. The design of an anchor poster is often tailored to the subject at hand, with related images or colors. Since they can be so varied, it's fun to customize them with your students! This way, the students will either know what to expect out of a lesson or they'll be able to sum up the important information they learned by referencing the anchor template.
We have lots of amazing templates to choose from. Take a look at our anchor chart poster example for inspiration!
