Who is the Articles poster for?

Articles belongs to the Languages section rather than to a school year, because languages is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning french can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Articles poster?

French needs an article where English often uses none. J'aime le café, not J'aime café. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Articles belongs on the wall where that languages work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Articles?

Adjective Placement, Avoir & Être and The Verbs You Need First sit alongside Articles in the Languages section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Adjective PlacementAvoir & ÊtreThe Verbs You Need First

What size does the Articles poster print at?

Articles is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Articles loses nothing.Printing guide
