Poster  on Afforestation


Plant more trees, save the Planet

Trees are our lifeline!

Plant more trees because:

1. They provide you with Oxygen     2. Trees prevent soil erosion

3. They provide us raw material     4. Trees provide us fruits and food

5. They give animals shelter   6. Trees provide shade to tired travelers 


A Green Planet is a Healthy Planet!

Grow more trees, ensure a healthy future.

Some important questions on posters for revision:

2. On behalf of the student council of your school, prepare a poster to promote Reading as a good habit and an ideal pass-time.

3. You are the head boy of your school, and you are concerned about the growing number of underage people who consume alcohol in the society today. You feel that consumption of Alcohol is dangerous to the health, therefore you have decided to draw a poster to promote awareness about this bad habit. You are Hardik Bansal.

4. Draw a poster to invite students of grades eight to ten to attend the annual inter-school  English debate competition. Supply relevant information such as date, time, venue, and perhaps the names of some of the participating schools.

6. You are the Fine-arts in-charge at the New Era Public school. After a whole month's preparation, your students have finally completed their work on their fine arts projects. These include paintings, clay models,  and sculptures from the renaissance period.
