Well another school year is underway and we have a new group of 21 students in the 2012-2013 Eco Club! As one of our first activities as a club this year, students will be completing mini research projects in small groups.
The first assignment is to research the places we will be visiting on our itinerary this year. Each group must create a blog post of at least one paragraph about their assigned place. The post must also include at least one picture and one link. Sources must be cited.
As an example, I made a post about Punta Uva, the beach we will be visiting:
Punta Uva is one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica. The name means "Grape Point" in Spanish, which it gets from the sea grape tree that grows there. As you can see from the picture, it is a lovely place to go and enjoy some sun and sand. This gorgeous scenery makes it a tourist attraction in the Puerto Viejo region. Located on the Caribbean Sea, this beach is very close to Panama. There are three tribes of Indigenous people that live near Punta Uva. The nearby Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge is a great place to see rain forest wildlife.
