Thank You Card To Our Ecosystem
Choose one of the organism or ecosystems listed:
Bees, bats hummingbirds, butterflies, bacteria, mangroves, wetlands, trees (or other primary producers), coral reefs, ladybugs, dung beetle, vultures, beaches, forests, nature parks, and estuaries. (You cannot pick the same organism/ecosystem as someone else in your table, or next to you)
If you want to choose another ecosystem, please ask for permission first.
Directions: create a thank you card for your organism or ecosystem that provides “service” to us humans.
Front of the card: Draw a picture of the organism or ecosystem and color it
Inside the card, on the back side of the front cover (inside cover): your name, class period, date, and table #
Inside the card: Thank the organism/ecosystem for 4 contributions that humans benefit from and appreciate. Make it personal (write in full sentences, not just a list) and describe why we benefit or appreciate them or their contributions. This should be at least 1 paragraph with 6 sentences.
There is nothing to upload into Canvas for this assignment. You will turn in your finished cards as the final product.
