Introduction Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travel outside of your horizons and explore the earth’s various climates, animals, vegetation, and distinctive land features? Well now you can. Because of your dynamic personality and your quest for knowledge, you have been selected to work with The World Biome Tourism Corporation to gather information on biomes around the world. Title PageIntroductionTitle PageIntroduction Task Process EvaluationConclusionCreditsTaskProcessEvaluationConclusionCredits

Task To understand all about the biomes that you are trying to get people to visit you will have to work in groups to visit all of the 7 biomes around the world. To defer the trip’s enormous expense, we will be eliminating the round trip airline ticket and the luxurious room accommodations. Also, free meal tickets to exquisite restaurants and additional spending money for fabulous souvenirs have been disregarded. Instead, you will be given the task of traveling around the world, visiting one of the 7 major biomes, via the Internet. You will become an expert on the particular biome of your choice. Because of your expertise, you will be asked to complete a page in the Biome Tour Book that will be utilized for advertising. The information you provide must explain all about the biome that you have researched. Your seven member team will present their completed Biome Tour Book to the members of the tourism commission.
