                                        Genetic Picture Dictionary
Use the list of words that follow and create a dictionary that has not only the written definitions of the word, but also a color
picture that shows what the word represents. You may use your notes, the book or any other source to help you define your
words. The grade on the project will be determined by the attached rubric. Definitions must be in your own words (NOT
TYPED), pictures must be colored, no clip art, no pictures from the computer.
