The Everglades Project

First Deadline: Research- December 4th

All research is to be shared on a Google doc. Please share with both Mrs. Benner
and Mrs. Tumenas, use the gmail addresses given in class.

You will be sharing a research document and an image citation document- that’s 2 documents.

You should use Google Notebook or Evernote or Diigo to gather information so that you have the
appropriate information to credit sources. After you find all of the information you need, transfer your
notebook to a Google doc and organize it by the various categories. The Google doc you share should
not just be a raw list of information gathered. Please filter your information, organize it and make an
attempt to put this in your own words. As this will be a lot of factual information, it is very difficult not
to just copy and paste. Some facts are just that, simply facts. Other categories are more descriptive and
therefore more open to your own interpretation.

Mrs. Benner’s List

1. pictures

2. habitat

3. identifying characteristics

4. nick names

5. latin name (Genus species)

6. reproduction

7. food feeding method if needed

8. Animals mistaken for

9. unique characteristics.
IMAGES All images should be stored and tagged on vi.sualize.us. Do not paste your images into the
google doc. See Mrs. Tumenas for username and password. Please use at least these tags: grade8,
everglades, "name of your bird" and your name. Other useful tags may be related to the category that
you plan to use the photo for- i.e. habitat, etc...

All images must be credited to the photographer or illustrator on your research document. Do not use
images that you cannot legally credit.

This is an example of the format required for your image credits:

Image Name: Birds at the Waterhole 2

URL: http://flickr.com/photos/bac_clin/466713635/sizes/o/
Photographer: Rusty One

Please check the images size carefully. Your page will be 11 by 17 and printed at 300 ppi. You will be
much more successful if you limit your image search to large or extra large images. Test your images in
InDesign using view>actual size to be sure that they will print properly.

A helpful guide to how to get the attribution you need for images. You may also use this wiki to make
the page required for image attribution in lieu of a paper document.
