__Grassland Peer Assesment __ By Cecilia Lopez and Briana Gaudet
 * Biome Introduction 2/5 pts : You didn’t include an introduction paragraph and there is no vivid imagery.
 * 3 Distinct Locations 8/15 pts : You guys didn’t include any videos and there is only 2 locations. More pictures and maps should be included for your biome, and you should tell us how each biome differs from another.
 * Food Webs 0/5 pts : There are no food webs for any biome..
 * Highlighted Species 2/5 pts: You guys didn’t really highlight an animal nor described it or included why it is important to the ecosystem. You did a great job adding small facts about a couple animals but didn’t do what was required.
 * Climate & Terrain Descriptions 2 /5 pts : One of the biomes did a good job with the climate and terrain descriptions but as for the other one, include information like how is the weather all year? How many seasons does it have?
 * Layout, Design, & Grammar 3/5 pts : Good job seperating the locations, color coding it and having titles. But I would recommend to make your title more bigger, brighter and inviting. Make your page pretty, so people reading it would want to read it and be excited to read it instead of it just being plain boring.
 * Research Integration 2/5 pts : The Asian Steppe did a great job including their parenthetical citations. But the Pampas, you need to add some! Slacking.
 * Citing/Intellectual/Property/Copyright /5 pts: Excellent job having citations with their appropiate information. Some pictures need a caption as well as their link.
 * Collaboration 5/10 pts : Some of you didn’t write a post or calloborate well with your teammates. And some of you didn’t even do your biome on the wikispaces which shows you didn’t participate much in this project. I would suggest to put up your biome so people can have a look at it.
