Need a Fahrenheit/Celsius comparative poster for my ESL class. Can anyone help?

[CTyankee]

What I am really looking for is a poster sized, simple chart, preferably in color, for my adult ESL class. It doesn't need to be a conversion chart, just one that graphically shows the temps side by side. I can get them page sized off of Google but would prefer to find a large, laminated chart I can roll up since my class has about 15 people in a library meeting room and I have to schlep my materials each week. I have tried my local Lakeshore store but they don't have one.

Any suggestions welcome! I thank you and my wonderful students who are mostly adult Turkish women new to this country thank you!

6. Ellen, you won't believe it.

I found a 15' garden thermometer in both C and F that shows the ambient temp at the Dollar Tree store...one buck plus tax. That store has some stuff!

8. the only thing I don't like

about your chart is the conversion formula:

1. Multiply degrees Celsius by 9
2. Divide by 5
3. Add 32

that almost guarantees that you can't do this in your head.

this works so much better:

C ---> F:

Double it, subtract 10% and add 32:

100 C x 2 = 200
200 - 10% = 180
180 + 32 = 212

that you can do in your head on the fly. Unfortunately I don't have a quick one like this for going F --> C

5. Rats! My system won't open it! It's weird, sometimes I have no problem

but other times I can't do it...*tears hair out by roots*

7. A couple easy ones to remember are the number reversals...

61F = 16C

and

82F = 28C

10. This one isn't bad for a printout.

It would give a quick look at weather temperatures which is what most people would be using. http://www.nerdacus.com/2008/04/handy-fahrenheit-celsius-conversion.html

BTW, are ovens always marked in F or do other countries cook in C?

12. Cool chart...and probably nice for someone with better English comprehension skills

than my Turkish ladies...they have very minimal English (some are at the survival level) so everything must be at the most basic level. My goal is to give them to skills they need to survive and thrive in this country. They are all literate in their own language, which is a big help, even tho their alphabet varies somewhat from ours. But we are at the flashcards with letters on them level...
