Background Tell the story of how you became
interested in your project and why its important
to you and your school.
Discussion and Implications Tell us what your
results mean and how they can or should influence
teaching. Do your results have any specific
implications for your teaching? For other
peoples teaching?
Data Tell us about what data you collected, how
often you collected it, and how you expected your
data to help you answer your research question.
You may want to include examples of surveys,
interview questions, pictures of students
participating in the project, etc. off to the
side of this slide so other people can see what
you did (and to make the poster less boring!).
