ENDANGERED SPECIES ASSIGNMENTS


1. Pick one of the listed assignments to write about.
2. Write me Lady Kat to let me know which one you have picked.
3. Write the assignment.
4. Send it in to the address listed above.
5. Start over at #1.


If you know of an endangered species you want to write about that is neither listed here nor at the GOW website (http://www.oocities.org/nsfearthsisters/esguardiansarticles.html) that is fine too. Just let me know what you are writing about. But *PLEASE* make sure that it *is* actually an endangered or threatened species... check with the Worldwildlife Species List to be sure.


PLACES TO START
Don't forget that there are many great sites about one specific animal. These are just general places where you can start out. Do a search engine search in addition to the info you can find on these sites, especially if your animal is a well-known one.
