Postcards+From+Afar

Postcards From Afar You will be working on a biomes project where you will create 6 biomes postcards to send to family members or friends. On the front, you should have a picture or drawings depicting the biome, including the flora and fauna of the region. On the back, you will write a message describing your vacation in the biome. This will be more than the copying of facts; you will weave the facts you are collecting into the creative message to your friend. You must include the following information:  ·  Temperature ranges  ·  Amount of precipitation  ·  Types of animals and their adaptations  ·  Types of plants and their adaptations  ·  Soil types  ·  Interesting facts (at least 2 per biome) The six major biomes of the world that we will be studying are:  ·  Tundra  ·  Taiga  ·  Tropical rainforest  ·  Desert  ·  Temperate forest  ·  Grassland Your grade will be determined in the following way: each postcard will be worth 20 points each. Fourteen of the 20 points will come from the 7 items of information that has to be included in each letter. The pictures/drawings will be worth the remaining 6 points. You must have correct plants and animals in these pictures to get full credit! The due date for this project is **November 19, 2008**.
