CMCT Environmental Literacy Ecosystems


All projects are due by Wednesday, November 3, Class time - you will present your page and ecosystem to the class.

You will select an ecosystem and create a wiki informational page - no one may study the same ecosystem.

On Wednesday, October 27, you will need to pick your ecosystem - you will have the period to research and select an area. If you do not pick an ecosystem by the end of the day, or if you are absent, Ms. Stratton will assign one to you.

Once you have selected your ecosystem - check out the Project Requirements page for details (the link is on the left ide of this page). ALL MATERIALS will be submitted via this wiki.

This final project will be used by other organizations as an introduction to the ecosystems,

All references, resources must be cited using MLA format
