Introduction
In this webquest you will be able to save some animals from their extinction.
Task
You are the greatest team of experts in animal extinction.
You will work in groups of 5 members.
Create a journal talking about animal extinction.
You will have to look for one animal in risk of extinction, of all five types of animals: mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians and birds.
Process
Each article of the animal should explain at least:
-The description of what the animal is.
-Where does it live?
-What does it do to survive?
-What problems do they have in their habitat?
-Who are their predators?
-What can we do to prevent the extinction?
