Wanted! Wanted posters are a very efficient means of catching criminals because they warn people. They aid in bringing criminals to justice, and they show the community who the criminals are. The same can be true of alerting the public of microorganisms that are WANTED because they are harmful. Help the M.B.I. (Microorganism Bureau of Investigation) get these bad guys off the streets (and off our hands)! Here’s your job: Draw a wanted poster of a microorganism. The wanted poster must warn people about one of the dangerous microorganisms that are at large. You must give a detailed description of the events that occurred to make it a crime (why it is considered a HARMFUL microorganism). Give some remarks on how to handle the microorganism if apprehended. Describe the criminal’s M.O., in other words, how he or she is known to attack its victims. Who does this criminal target? Where was it last seen or likely hiding? Always state how much the reward is and who is receiving the reward for capture. See the rubric on the back of this page for details on how you will be graded. Sheriff Frazier & Sheriff Boden will choose the most useful posters to hang for the public to see. Please Note: If convention (spelling & grammar) errors interfere with the readability of the work or if plagiarism is present, students will be asked to correct their work.
