Swim Safe Posters

A couple of weeks ago we studied aquatics so we made some swim safe posters. Posters are made up of an image and a message. At first some of us were making information explanations by using a statement, not a message. Once they were finshed we had to say what our purpose of our swim safe poster was. Say what our visual features were and what the image and the text had in common with each other. this is an example Taylor's Visual features on her poster...

The PURPOSE of my swim safe poster is to send the message that...
wearing a fitted life jacket when you are on a boat is a sensible, safe precaution.
My VISUAL FEATURES that support my message are...
a family photo of Finn, Sophia and I are each wearing our life jackets.
The message and the images work together to suggest...
that no matter what everyone who is in a boat needs to take the precaution of wearing a life jacket.
