Creating Your Own Project

The National Zoo needs your help! All the animals from the rainforest exhibit have escaped. It is up to you to research information about the missing animals and prepare a WANTED poster to ensure the safe return of all the animals. You will begin by recording and organizing information about your animal in a Word document. Then you'll create a poster in another Word document, using drawing and text tools. You will be incorporating text, clip art, and WordArt into your poster to present the information about your animal in a visually appealing way.
