Minerals - Wanted Poster

***SEE RUBRIC FOR FULL GRADING BREAKDOWN***

As sheriff of the town, your job is to warn and protect your citizens by creating a detailed “Most Wanted” poster to be displayed throughout the local school. In order for your citizens to have all the correct information on the wanted fugitive, you must provide an accurate and neat description of the wanted mineral. This poster will include a detailed colored drawing of the mineral along with what kind of disguise the fugitive might be using to avoid capture. At the bottom of your poster, you must include the mineral’s streak color when streaked across a ceramic tile, the minerals color or different colors it can be found as, luster, hardness (the number on Mohs hardness scale and what it can be scratched with), and a creative detailed description of the mineral INCLUDING the above 4 properties and TWO COMMON USES for the mineral. An alternative is to create a “Missing Minerals” poster with all the same requirements. Don’t forget to include the minerals name along with a made up first or last name to go at the top of your poster, for example, Jessie “The Graphite” James. Remember, be as CREATIVE as possible. ***SEE RUBRIC FOR FULL GRADING BREAKDOWN***
