Ecology Project

We are beginning our last assignment of the year, which is a research project on an Ecological Issue.  By this point, you have all chosen your topics, and here is some materials to help you get started.
Assignment Outline:  Please remember that the presentations will all take place on June 9 - and you must attend class to get marks.  You will be expected to stand in front of your poster and answer questions, provide a half-page BRIEF summary of your topic for everyone to take home.  Also, you will be expected to present the key ideas in 2 minutes to the rest of the class.

You will create a poster for our gallery walk - here is an example of the type of poster board that I would suggest - it costs about $8.00 and you can buy it at Staples, Office Depot, etc.  If you would like a cheaper option, simply buy a couple regular poster boards from the dollar store and tape them together.

Design of Poster:

  • Here is an excellent presentation that explains how to make a great poster.  Watch the slideshow - it is filled with excellent tips and is relatively fun to watch. 
  • Here is some more tips on how to make good posters - it is geared towards Masters Students, but the basic principles still apply.
  • Please remember that visuals matter!  Use good quality pictures, graphs and charts - print off from Powerpoint, etc. and clear headings for each section.  Please use appropriate fonts,
