After having discussed the main geographical characteristics of each continent, you will have to search for at least 10 animals that live on those continents. You will work in groups of 3/4. Remember to include the main characteristics of those animals: where they live, what they eat, if they emigrate or not, etc. You should include images and at least one video.  As popplet is a collaborative network, you will exchange your work with another pair who will add further information. Remember to include the sources of your information at the end of the presentation.
