CLASS ACTIVITY- CREATING A WEBSITE
What will you do?
Create a common website giving information for classification of plants and animals.
You have to create -
1. Home page- information about classification and name your site.
2. Pages for each plant and animal phyla as specified.- with characteristics for each phyla
3. Subpages for each phylum- with at least 4 examples.
The website has to be finalised by 17th Nov 2014. This will be considered as a part of your CAS activity (developing research skills, writing skills and webpage construction). Do not directly copy and paste information, after reading from from different webpages write down the information in your own words. Click pictures if possible for the examples or if taken from the net site the source. For examples check out different organisms and select the ones that shows some important or unique features.
