Introduction

• Introduction A new zoo is going to be opened as
  a joint venture between New York state and Nassau
  county. The first exhibits will be a gift of
  animals from several continents. The zoo planners
  are in need of information about the animals and
  their habitats. This information will be used to
  design enclosures which will as closely as
  possible reflect the animals natural habitats.

Task

• The task is to prepare at least 5 slides for a
  PowerPoint presentation. This presentation will
  contain the information that the planning group
  needs in order to create an environment that is
  both appropriate for the animals and will tell
  something about the surrounding area. You will
  each be responsible for 3 slides about your
  specific animal. Next, you will work as a
  continent group to put together the other slides
  that will show how your animals relate to the
  continent theyre from.
