I have attached the Annotated Bibliography that you need to create the poster/leaflet for. I have also attached the rubric and posted the guidelines for the assignment below.
Format Guidelines: Create either a poster (based on 11×8.5 paper size, either landscape or portrait) or leaflet (also on 11×8.5 paper, but can be designed to be folded) that informs a non-scientist about the topic you have chosen. This assignment leads directly on from the previous one. In Assignment 1, you collated and summarized information from scientific articles. Here, you will create a visual guide to the topic that is aimed at informing a non-scientist, using information from your annotated bibliography. You should focus primarily around figures – this is a visual guide, where the text is used to help explain the figures that you have selected to inform the reader about the topic. The language of the text must be suitable for a non-scientist to understand (i.e. no scientific jargon or complex scientific concepts). The design must be eye catching – consider whether or not your poster or leaflet would draw people in; what visuals might be eye catching? What title might pique a reader’s interest in the subject?
Your work must be grounded in the data you have collected from the sources used in Assignment 1 (i.e. you cannot use sources other than peer-reviewed articles). You may need to expand your search (especially if this is the feedback provided to you). The figures and text that you use should include citations (use the APA format – see below for links to guides on this referencing format), as well as a reference list somewhere (make the list as small as possible, while still readable). All text included in the poster or leaflet must be paraphrased – do not include quotations anywhere in the work, nor copy directly from the source material. If you do include a picture or photo from other places apart from an academic article (e.g. an eye catching photo for the cover page of the leaflet) you will need to provide credit to the original photographer or artist of the image. You should minimize the number of images from non-academic articles to a single image or diagram. There is no maximum or minimum word count, nor number of images required. You do not have to include all of the articles that you had selected for your annotated bibliography, but you should include at least 2 to 3 so that the poster is not just a summary of a single article, but rather a synopsis of multiple articles which all add into the central theme of the topic. The more articles that you use to present the information, the wider range of data you will use, and the more accurate your message will be (i.e. it is more definitive to show that 4 or 5 articles all come to the same conclusion than just 1 or 2).
