Pony Express Wanted Posters

Directions: You will create a Wanted Poster that expresses the qualities a person must have to become a Pony Express rider. Be sure to use the information you found on the websites that were provided for you.

Your poster must include the following:
1. At least five qualifications a rider must have
2. A picture (either hand drawn or taken from Internet) showing what a Pony Express rider might look like
3. Who to contact and where you should go to go to apply if you are interested (such as the Pony Express Stables)
4. The month and year

Your poster should be creative and look like it would have in the time of the Pony Express. There should be no spelling mistakes and it should be easy to read. Your poster should make pioneers want to become riders for the Pony Express!
