From Dr. Susan H. Smith, a teacher in Andover, Massachusetts:

Here's a great tip for decorating your high school classroom: Have the students create bulletin boards for your room. Assign cooperative groups of students, making sure each group has a designated artist. Provide a theme connected to what they will be learning (i.e., Shakespeare). Have them do research around the theme, and have them post their work on the bulletin boards. Be certain to grade the bulletin boards, as you would any project. Create a rubric with your students so they know that their work is important. You will be connecting the arts to the content you are teaching. You will be amazed at how creative they are and how interesting your bulletin boards will be!
