Hey everybody! I'm sorry I'm out today. I have a stomach flu which I expect will only last 24 hours. I should be back in tomorrow.
As we prepare to design our biome dioramas I want you to look at the countries that have your biomes in them.
BlogWork
Go to the CIA website, The World Factbook, and find information about one of the countries that has your biome in it. Read through the information about that country and write down a list of ten facts about the country. Please write in complete sentences. There is extensive information on every country, so make sure you read through all of the drop down menus.
