Saves Time and Energy: No more repeating instructions at every station — students have everything they need in front of them.
Promotes Independent Learning: Clear visuals and step-by-step directions empower students to work confidently on their own.
Supports Diverse Learners: Great for visual learners, ELL students, and students who benefit from structured guidance.
Professional and Polished: Clean, full-color design elevates your classroom and makes your unit feel like a true production lab.
Flexible and Easy to Use: Print in two sizes, use them as wall displays, station guides, projection tools, or notebook inserts.
Classroom-Tested and Student-Approved: Developed by a theater educator with real-world classroom use in mind — these posters work.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All posters in this set feature real photos of actual injuries or features to provide students with accurate visual references — including bruises, freckles, scars, rashes, and more.
Due to the graphic nature of certain injuries, the posters for 3rd-Degree Burns and Wounds & Gashes use high-quality images of stage makeup designs rather than real injuries. These have been selected carefully to model the effect while maintaining classroom appropriateness.
