# To Try in Class

CPD: Dual Coding (by Oliver Caviglioli), topic 1.6.2

## Displays

Now that you know more about how good displays re made. Here are a few things to try (or not!) in class.

### Do

![Do](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-09/dc03e5f7-5c36-410b-9573-16d7d893b765/child-children-siblings-fight-play-.jpg)

- Focus on clarity and readability.
- Decide if a part is to be read close up. If so, how will this happen?
- Let pupils’ art work stand alone (large) for EY especially.

### Don't

- Work from assumptions of school aesthetics.
- Use wavy corrugated cardboard borders unless relevant.
- Assume you need borders at all.
- Use too many colours. Keep it simple.

### Try
