“Pathogen Wanted” Posters
Design your poster like you are searching for a criminal. Use the language a police
officer/detective/sheriff would use to catch a criminal. Your criminal is your pathogen. Their crime is
infecting people/animals. BE CREATIVE! You are encouraged to include
identifying characteristics of your pathogen. Think of how it looks, acts, etc. –
even make something up! For example: scars, tattoos, funny hats…
