Endangered Species Facebook Project
The purpose of the project is to create a Facebook page for an endangered plant or animal species
(must be on endangered species list). You will have 3 days of computer time to complete the
research and construction of the page. Use this sheet to complete your research before you begin
constructing the page and finding pictures. You will use the PowerPoint template and write the
“facebook” page from the perspective of the animal/plant. You will be rewarded for creativity or
humor. All information on the sample page must be changed to information about your species or you
receive no points for that entry.
While you are working on your page, you may save it to your H: drive (both partners need to save it
in case one is absent the next day) or email it to yourself.
Upon completion of the page, please email it to: staylor@pdsd.org
Create a Facebook page for a species on the endangered species list. You must be
