Intro: 3/5 needs to capitalize some things. You also need a map with a caption under, and a link attached to show where you got it from. Locations: 13/15 You shouldn't put two locations that are in congo, just choose one. Food Webs: 4/5 You need to put arrows to show what consumes what. Capitalize names of animals, it looks awkward. Highlighted Species: 2.5/5 You need an animal from each location you pointed out, not just one. get rid of the random thh under the pic of the animal. Climate and Terrain Descriptions: 1/5 I don't see anything on climate... it is important so put it in. Layout, Design, and Grammer: 5/5 I would make yours just a little bit more organized. you have good hyper links. good creative heading at the top. maybe think about putting some widgets in like the weather. Research Integration: 4/5 you did good with linking your maps and other things to find more info. good video. Citing/Intellectual property/Copyright: 4/5 Make sure to get all your noodle tools done, so you dont copyright. Collaboration: 9/10 Good job collaborating with your group :D Also good editing on your wiki (:
