Welcome young scholars. Your local travel agency needs your help! They are taking a group of people on a Habitat World Tour. However they do not have an habitat guide booklet to give to the participants because they do not know much about the different habitats. They have asked you to help make a habitat guide booklet; done by research. Who is ready to become a habitat expert?

You can use the following links to help you get information on habitats...
http://happeninhabitats.pwnet.org/what_is_habitat/habitat_types.php
http://environment.nationalgeographic.com/environment/habitats/
http://www.brainpopjr.com/science/habitats/
*for the brainpop jr site, login with our school username and password (it is written on the board)
Third you will begin building your Habitat Guide Booklet with the information you learned from your research. You may design your booklet and organize your information any way you would like. However you must have the following:
- cover with illustrations and name
- table of contents
- one page with written or typed information for each habitat
- one illustration for each habitat
**Disclamer**
-Even though you are doing this project in pairs, each person in the group must make their own Habitat Guide Booklet. You may find your research as a group, but you each have to turn in a booklet.
