Week 3: Endangered Animals
This week we will look at some of the species that are in danger of extinction. Begin by visiting the following web sites to learn more about a few endangered species. You an also go to your library or use the internet to research other endangered species. rss url="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/science/topics/endangered_and_extinct_species/index.html?rss=1" link="true" description="true" number="10" You'll need to log in to add your animals. To add an animal click on add a marker. Then search for a location where the animal can be found and then click on its address when it comes up in the window. Your title should be the name of the animal. You should add a picture of the animal and provide the sources of the picture (as a caption), type a brief description of the animal in the description field. CommunityWalk is pretty easy to figure out -- but I've also created a [|short tutorial] if you'd prefer to have an overview of the program before starting.
