Weebly Rubric:

105pts total. Every page is worth 5 points. These points are based on the amount of information included as well as including all the information requested for that page. The following pages are worth 10 points: Organisms, cycles, and bibliography. You will also graded up to 5 points for including a picture on every page. This may be the header if the header has been revised. Every page needs to have a note on the bottom indicating where the information for that page is from. This is worth 5 points. Effort and creativity is worth 10 points. Things I am looking for: use of different settings/formats in Weebly slide show, columns, buttons, links, additional pages. Did you include lots of information or use multiple resources? Or did you do the minimum. Unique creativity, extensive information and/or most pages, including the cycles, completed when I did the grading last week will receive extra credit points. Based on my comments and/or the weebly, you know my expectations for the early pages. For the remainder of the pages:

Historical/Evolution/Events
You only need to complete one of these pages. Potential topics include: Movement of humans into or out of the ecosystem. Organism extinctions or noted adaptations (evolution topics) Changes in climate not already discussed Incidences like fire or glaciers and the succession in the environment that then occurred When the ecosystem was discovered Include specific information on one topic or discuss several topics less in depth. This will depend on your resources and ecosystem.

Regulation
Describe the government legislation (state, national or international) regarding one or more of the following:

restricted human activities (recreational, industrial, mining, etc) , protection of endangered animals, creation of national parks/preservations within biome/ecosystem.

Is this a world-wide official biome through UNESCO? You will want to be indepth on one regulation or brief on several for full credit.

Human Influence
Describe how humans have influenced your specific ecosystem Has the habitat changed due to changes in land use related to transportation, housing, industry? Have humans introduced invasive species how and what? Has there been overhunting leading to tragedy of the commons?

Want to Know
What question(s) do you have about this environment AND how would you propose to investigate them? It has to be something that can be measured. Here are examples of some studies: questions and experimental techniques. Please tailor it to your ecosystem. http://www.usgs.gov/ecosystems/ Be sure to put it in your own words! Dont just change the animal name, show me some thought behind why you choose this question and study.
