Biology Review Mini-Poster Project
While you are responsible for reviewing all of the topics, you and your classmates will be
working together to review the year by focusing on one topic each and creating a clear, detailed
but succinct mini-poster on that topic. Here are the topics and project guidelines. You will be
assigned a topic or topic area (see list below) and will be responsible for the following
objectives:
Poster - Make an accurate and engaging mini-poster (8.5 x 14 up to 11x17; paper will be
provided) that features text and illustrations.
Each poster should include:
- Title – make it clear and easy to read (also, please reference the NC Goal number near
the name)
- Your name and section in the lower right corner
- One sentence or phrase “headline” that summarizes the biological relevance of the
topic
- Bulleted summary of the key points, ideas and vocabulary tied to the topic:
- Ask yourself why this topic is important in biology, the “so what?” question. Use
the final review outline to help flesh out some topics to be included on the poster,
review your study guides and your notebook.
- Illustrations (minimum of 2 hand-drawn or from textbooks, internet, etc. so long
as the latter are properly cited with sources and year of publication) that enhance
the presentation of the topic and that are clear in showing structures and/or
processes. Depending on the topic, you may need several illustrations to get your
information across; try to find a good balance between text and visuals. Quality,
not necessarily quantity, counts here. Use clear, straightforward illustrations that
are both easy on the eye and informative.
Your poster counts as a project and your grade will be based on:
Creativity (is the poster novel and engaging?)
Informative (accurate and complete)
Organization/Clarity (neatly drawn, logically organized)
