The document provides instructions for homework assignment 2, which asks students to research and write about two endangered animal species. Students are to record information in a Word document about the animal's name, location, reasons for endangerment, and population numbers. They must also include images of each animal sourced from websites and saved to their school account. Additionally, students must explain how websites could effectively raise awareness of endangered species among their peer group and analyze features of reference websites that help promote animal conservation awareness. The assignment will be assessed based on the quality of responses to the research points and presentation in the submitted Word document.

MYP Criterion A: Inquiring and analysing Maximum 8 points
Introduction In a few weeks we will start a project on endangered species and you will need to find out about two endangered species and present information about them in two formatted web pages. What do I need to do for HWK 2 this week? In a new Word document record the following: 1. Information about 2 animals that are endangered (look below for tips on what to record) 2. (iv) Write about one animal at a time, to cover these points: What are the names of the animals? Explain WHERE are the animals found? Explain WHY they are endangered? For example, predation, climate change, habitat loss, deforestation etc 78
In your Word document you will be assessed

Explain how many animals remain or/and any statistics
3. Find some images of each animal. Show them in your research document and include a link to the website where you found them. Copy the image files to your account in school in a folder marked Endangered Species WEB. 4. In the same document explain HOW and WHY a web site might be a good medium (method) to show information about endangered species to many people of YOUR age group (iii). 5. List the websites that you have used in your secondary research. Analyse and write down features of these sites that you feel help to promote awareness of animal endangerment (i) and (iii). 6. When you have read and completed the task, submit your Word document to the Yr8 HWK 2 Edmodo turn in point. How will I be assessed?
