2011April manoomin Lake Team 4 Final Poster
As manoomin students, teachers, scientists and mentors we are asking for constructive critique on our Lake Team posters. These posters will be presented by students at the upcoming site visit (May2 or 21) in the Twin Cities. Please take time to post your initial comments by April 22nd. Keep in mind the spirit of the student’s work. Our goal is to reflect the student’s words through constructive critique. Students should comment on their poster as well as one other team, all others please make comment on all three.
Revisions will be made accordingly b April 29th with a final poster available to critique by April 29. Re-checking our work will assure that we are accurate, factual and clear.
The final versions of the posters will be sent to the UM to be printed by Ma7 7th.

Emi Ito comments from Saturday camp:
“Purpose” needs more work, a bit choppy. First sentence is a bit tenuous maybe delete?
Using the word “extinct” not good.
Expand in second sentence – can we tell under what conditions?
“Future” last sentence needs work
I noticed that you need a comma after Tom Yellowman in the “participants” section. Under “method”: SEm- no period after cells. Uncap the word “used”.
Riley and I were reviewing the the poster last night. The purpose section should be more detailed. The purpose could be rewritten to say more about taking sediment cores to learn about the history of the lake and surrounding land over the last ten thousand years.
The Method section should be more specific, depth of the cores in meters, coordinates of sites, the fact that the students were given coordinates and had to navigate on their own to find the second core site. Talk about going to the FDL lab, splitting a core, looking at sediments and plants under the microscope. Talk about going to LacCore, doing Initial Core Description, how the cores are scanned in multisensor, split,cleaned, imaged on scanner, visual description with worksheets, smear slides taken, the note taking by students in blue notebooks.
The Future section should talk about how the collection and Initial Core Description are just the beginning of what can be done with the cores.
