You will choose the name of a scientist from a list of many scientists who have made significant contributions to the field of Science we will study this year.  These men and women may be inventors, discoverers or life savers.  All of these scientists, however, have overcome obstacles, thought outside the box and worked tirelessly to benefit our lives.

 

Your assignment is to create a "Wanted" poster advertising your scientist's stats.  You will research both personal and professional information, and find out exactly why your scientist is "wanted".  As you perform your research, make sure you use the CITE-IT rubric to evaluate the reliability of your sources.

• To be informative

• To present information in a clear and creative manner

Your "Wanted" poster will be evaluated on the following components:

 

• Overall presentation
