NOTE: You do not have to summarize all of your research. Your objective is to create an interesting visual (think: infographic or google slides or even a PowerPoint) so that an outside observer could quickly learn more about your chosen topic.
To build your visual component for this assignment you will need to include the following:
At least 2 images (pictures, charts, and graphs all count as images) and
Your research reflecting the information you found pertaining to the area of the brain you researched. You will need to integrate your research and include in-text citations when referencing your research.
Your reference page in APA format. For in-text citations (in the body of your poster) cite the author’s name and publication date i.e., (Thompson, 2018). Your full reference list can be placed either at the bottom of the visual or in the textbox of the discussion.
