pertinent descriptions, facts, and details to accentuate main ideas or themes; use

(Practice Presentation at HOME first!)
The poster MUST be on paper larger than a piece of computer paper. It does not need to
be a poster board, just a large piece of paper. I would like the poster to be hand drawn,

no computer generated print-outs. Diagrams should not be on a tri-fold board

because it is too hard to hang them up. In order to earn a 4, students can create a Prezi,
PPT, written/typed summary of the Rock Cycle. A lot of research is required to complete
this project so do not wait until the night before it is due!
