Wanted Poster Options

I have decided to allow students to also use Pages as a tool for creating their Wanted Poster. Remember, you can copy/paste text from Comic Life into Pages. Choose the tool you feel will best accomplish the task and create a unique, creative product. With that said there are a few requirements.

• Your paragraph text must be black text on a white background.
• Your paragraph font must be readable.
• You must include the URLs of any images from the internet.
