Task

You will be reading three articles and answer questions about what you have read. You may write them down or complete the questions on the website. I will also put the questions on here in case the website won't load the questions. Combining the information from the articles together you will write or create some display of what you have learned and how we should protect butterflies. This can be created physically in class or it can be online. After we will have a group discussion about the information and share our displays.
