Kellie Stewart.
Period 8.
You will be creating an “Indigenous People’s Webpage”, in which you will be writing your thoughts and daily rituals as if you were indigenous to the biomes you’re learning about. We will be discovering the characteristic richness and diversity of 12 terrestrial biomes, and the aquatic biomes as well. •A map of the area (cut and paste of course). Keep the URL for the map in a citations page.

- A brief paragraph describing the biogeography of the biome.
- Date your entry, just as you would any journal entry. It could be a time from the past and a different time of year than we are currently in.
- Describe what the biome’s climate is like at that time of year.
- A map of the area (cut and paste of course). Keep the URL for the map in a citations page.
- A climograph of the general area where your indigenous person is from. (You may find this information online, and cut and paste, but keep the URL link for the citations page.)
- Create a complete journal entry in which you become one of the indigenous people from the biome you have chosen. (Tell about and include photos of two of the native species you rely on (one plant and one animal…or two animals, if you are in the Arctic Tundra). Describe how you obtain other resources you may need , such as: shelter, transportation, energy…etc…photographic image of dwelling should be included too. Tell about your family structure, and describe your role in your family (ie hunter, provider, gatherer, child-rearing). If you are the hunter, you may have a lot of time for leisure…if you are mainly responsible for child rearing and home maintenance, you may have very little time for leisure. What do you do with your leisure? Photos of anything you mention in your journal entry are appropriate.
- Photographic images of clothing worn, tools used…etc…are appropriate here. Tell about the types of foods you eat, and how you obtain them. Include photographic images of at least two foods eaten, and one image of how you obtain them as well.
- Create a thinking map appropriately depicting or organizing ANY information you wish to, about your biome. (PLEASE NOTE: Choose a different thinking map with each entry
- Create a COLORFUL drawing depicting your daily life, or routine within your biome. It should be of something you’ve spoken about in your journal entry.
- Add any and all URLs you visited, or used (including research information and photographic images) to the citations page link.
