Abstract

Back in time when we enter elementary classes, we see lots of charts displayed on walls, windows, doors and bulletin boards. This looks visually very attractive and grasps the interest of learners. Earlier it was believed that only in elementary classes charts can be used as a medium of teaching. But as the time has passed the notion has changed, now the teachers in higher classes also use the charts to teach the content. Teachers also involve the learners to create charts in class, so that their concept becomes clearer. Learners also draw the charts in their notebook for quick revision during the exam time. Now the charts are also used to decorate the classrooms, as the teacher uses the charts to motivate, inspire, generate interest and stay focused for the learners. Thus, the term we hear mostly in schools nowadays is anchor charts. There are many other teaching resources which are trending nowadays such as audio, video, PowerPoint presentation etc. But all these resources require smart class, which is not possible in remote areas. Anchor charts are a very new way to showcase teachers and learners' creative side and it does not require smart class. Anchor charts are very eye catching, theme based and, in some way, saves time and money.
