Evolution & Biodiversity- Blog Assignment

Part One- Watch the Galapagos Finch Evolution video and write a one to two page summary (front and back of a piece of loose-leaf paper; max). Your summary should summarize what you learned in the video. For the last paragraph of your summary I would like you to explain the weather event known as El Nino that is discussed in the video. To do this you will need to do some internet research. Anything that you learn from your research, that you include in your response, needs to be properly cited using the MLA format (I have included two links at the bottom of this post as resources to help you with MLA formatting). You do not need to cite anything from the video itself; just your El Nino internet research.  Also, be sure to include a reference list, in MLA format, at the end of your summary. 

Part Two- Watch the United Nations Decade on Biodiversity- Official Video and write a one to two page summary (Front and back of a piece of loose-leaf paper; max). Your summary should summarize what you learned in the video.
