Cool Lesson Idea: "Wanted Poster"

I found a really cool way to allow students to demonstrate learning in a unique and novel way. Students are prompted to demonstrate learning by create a "Wanted Poster". You can use the wanted poster to describe anything from animals to complex science terms. In this poster you can require students to include various types of information. A few recommendations for things you that could be included could be: picture, where you might find it, what it does, why it is wanted, is it dangerous, how could you catch it, and who you should contact if seen. This "Wanted Poster" idea can be used very effectively when done with student access to computers and the internet. For any teachers of Biology this link gives access to a "Wanted Poster Project for bacteria.
