Grading for Wikispaces

I will be grading you on wikispaces today!! You will need to send me an email for each biome, the subject line should be the name of the biome. You will need to copy and paste all four categories for that biome in the email. I should receive a total of five emails from each student (one for each biome). You can substitute the rainforest or the marine ecosystem for one of the five biomes listed below.

Tundra
Desert
Chaparral
Grasslands - Prairie
Grasslands - Savanna

Starting on Wednesday we will be recording podcasts for each biome. You will need your ID Card to check out equipment and you will need to have a written script.

Wikispaces and Grades

Make sure that you complete the postings in each of the Biomes. On Monday, I'll start grading on the five biomes that I've assigned tables. Each biome will be worth 40 points (10 points for each category). To get credit for the posting it needs to be 5 sentences long with a picture. Pick one animal, vegetation, part of the geography or aspect of the climate to write about. Talk about the categories in specifics not generalities.

Table 2 = Tundra
Table 3 = Desert
Table 4 = Chaparral
Table 5 = Grasslands - Prairie
Table 6 = Grasslands - Savanna

Good luck
