POSTER SESSION II |
Poster Project
We will work in pairs on posters to be presented to the entire class at the end of winter quarter. Each pair of students will do library research on one of three topics:
2. Genetically Modified Organisms
3. Stem Cell Research
As part of the development of the poster, each group should prepare an annotated bibliography of the most pertinent materials referenced in the poster. This should be included as part of the poster. A bibliography is a list of references in alphabetical order that includes all information required for the reader to look up the reference themselves. Annotated means that you should also include a very brief (one or two sentence) synopsis of what the paper covers. The annotation is usually included in italics immediately after the reference.
Below is an example of an annotated reference:
On the first day of the quarter, we will:
2. Choose subtopics within the three main topics
3. Choose groups of two for the poster projects
4. Talk about how to carry out the research
