I like the idea of using the posters as a way to "make" weekly memories of your classroom. I don't work with the students older than preschool except for reading but it would work well just to have them make a poster about each book as we get done reading it. In one reading group we learn about real animals or insects and then we read stories about the same animals but in a make believe setting. The students could really use their imaginations for those situations.
In my preschool room I take pictures all the time so I could make legal size posters and put them up and then give them out to the families at the end of the school year. I would still have the electronic folder and could get them printed during the summer and bring them back to line the hallways or to decorate my classroom.
Our highschool students compile, print and bind our yearbook right here at the school (keeps costs down) and I think pages like these could make for an interesting change in the setup of some pages. Especially to show sports or activities that we have had at the school.
I really enjoyed making the poster. It took longer than would be normal because I had trouble deciding on the layout and the pictures to use. I worked too hard to make it 'just' right. My cooperating teachers says we should get it made into post cards!

What a beautiful poster! i especially like the picture of the sunset...
Levelock looks beautiful....If not cold! I like your international airport! Your idea to use the poster for your pre-schoolers is great. Children do so love to see pictures of themselves. What if you used it for a class rules chart? You could show pictures of the right way to do things and the wrong way.
I'd echo some of Jessica and Melissa's comments--beautiful poster, great photos, and some wonderful ideas for using Comic Life with pre-schooler. Thanks for sharing this with us.
