Students were given the rubric (see below) for the Biomes project and begun filling in a graphic organizer about the 6 major land biomes using their textbooks (pages 296-305) and notes from the board. In addition they located each biome on a coloring world map by coloring in the areas of each biome a specific color. (see attached file below: Legal size biome_goand_ coloring.pptx)
