My school had a poster maker. I used these two files to create posters to help my students with grammar and punctuation. We used the Shurley English program, the material looks kind of dry but it does a great job teaching basic grammar to students. My students loved the songs. I supplemented the program with additional writing activities based on Georgia Standards.
