Why This Is Helpful

Many teens don’t have a way of connecting “lessons learned” about values to real world reading and writing.  Observing, understanding, and creating are all important skills for teens to continue to improve upon in and out of school. Teens can strengthen these literacy skills by examining billboards that have been created to highlight the values that they are familiar with.  With their creativity stimulated by existent billboards, teens can be prompted to create personalized billboards that recognize the values that have been instilled in them and those that emulate and represent those values.
