Overview:   This week you will visit your outcrop a second time.  Before you visit the outcrop your group leader will need to show progress from last week.    After you visit your outcrop the second time, your group will have a few days to assemble a poster.  You will have less than a week to produce your final poster.    Before you visit the field:   Your group leader should show me what your group produced during the last week: Presentation quality correlation chart, with caption Lithologic description- what you saw last week Publication quality location map- with last week's stop Publication quality photographs of outcrop and hand samples (with captions and labels) Geologic maps- clip out portions of maps that cover your area, include captions and references.   Your group leader should show me where you plan to go this week: Location map(s) Geologic map(s) Lithologic description or reasons to visit a site Pick up keys, shovels, sample bags.   Producing the poster:   Here is a Powerpoint template for your poster:   Poster template   The template has instructions for producing the final poster.  Use these instructions as a guide, but feel free to experiment with colors, layout and design.   Rules for poster printing Keep fonts large!  Posters should be readable from 5 feet away. Keep it simple- use brief phrases or bullet items, avoid paragraphs. Give credit (reference) any material that you did not produce. Use white or light background- no dark photos or dark backgrounds.
